Durian Atemoya (榴槤釋迦) is a distinctive Taiwan-selected Atemoya known for two remarkable characteristics: its exceptionally large fruit size and its unusual wrinkled tail at the blossom end.

The fruit has a striking appearance, with pronounced, pointed surface segments that give it a bold, almost durian-like look—hence the name “Durian Atemoya.” One of its most recognizable characteristics is the wrinkled formation around the bottom of the fruit, a feature that helps distinguish it from more commonly grown Atemoya varieties.

Exceptionally Large Fruit

Durian Atemoya is particularly impressive for its size. Under favorable growing conditions, the fruit has been reported to develop more than twice the size of a typical Atemoya, with some comparisons describing fruit approximately 2.3 times larger.

Its combination of unusual shape and extraordinary size makes mature fruit especially impressive on the tree.

Flavor & Texture

Despite its unusual exterior, the flesh and flavor are very similar to traditional Atemoya. The interior is creamy, soft, sweet, and aromatic, with the rich tropical custard-like character for which Atemoya is prized.

Two Distinctive Characteristics
Extra-large fruit – potentially more than twice the size of common Atemoya fruit
Wrinkled tail – a distinctive wrinkled blossom-end formation that helps identify the variety

Durian Atemoya combines the familiar eating quality of Atemoya with a dramatically different fruit size and appearance.

For collectors and growers searching for an unusual Annona variety, Durian Atemoya (榴槤釋迦) offers something immediately recognizable: giant fruit with a distinctive wrinkled tail.
