Thanks, Beatrice.

Theoretically. I don't know of any commercial Mexican plantings, but my
ignorance is great.

Hawaiian papaya and pineapples are worth avoiding in the mainland (all
sorts of treatment that hinders "purity"). No other non-irradiated
fruit gets to the mainland as far as I know. I have _very rarely_ seen
durian for sale at the local markets of the big island. The climate is
marginal for them and the local demand far surpasses the supply.

FWIW, Thai and Indonesian durians that make it to US markets (fresh)
are about as good as it gets in the mainland. Costs more than they are
worth IMO.
