Other than that, the second famous durian species is D24. D24, a close rival of the Musang King, is also known as the ‘Sultan’ or ‘D24 Sultan’. Interestingly, before the Musang King was released to the market in the 1990s, D24 was the best-selling durian species. D24 is supposed to taste more subtle than the Musang King, but it has a similar creamy texture and is a suitable choice for durian newcomers. Aside from its yellowish-green flesh, the D24's relatively short stem and prominent brown ring at the bottom are two of its most distinguishing features.
