You can buy extremely good Durian from Year of the Durian, she is a member here on TFF and get’s the best Durian from the best farmer’s. Highly recommend it.

I hope I get to taste one before I die.

Lindsay, of 'Year of the durian', is located in SE Asia.  She ships very high quality durian to the US which is then sent to customers.

I’ve been dying to order some of hers but can’t stomach the cost yet.
Not that it’s not worth it.

However, after at least a year since my last frozen durian purchase locally, I bought some arils on Saturday.
They have been phenomenal. Nearly the best frozen durian I’ve had.

First durian in which I tasted a fruitiness, like a berry flavor.

It could still be done, it's just that nobody is going to put in that much money for a fruit tree.
