Thank you for the post.  I have two questions if you don't mind:

-What is the variety of the parent trees?
-Have they been tested in Florida?

Thanks
Adiel

Jeff, sorry if the question was vague.  Here is more details on each question:

- What is the variety of the parent trees?   This one is straight forward, just want to know the parent(s) of the seeds.

- Have they been tested in Florida?  Most tree improvement programs are beneficial but based on a recurrent selection.  I am not sure if there was such tree improvement or "testing" on the seedlings being sold.  As you know, Durian is not a household tree here and was just curious on the history from the seller.  For example, was there any type of testing such as planting 1000 seeds and seeing which ones do better in our climate.

I hope it makes a little more sense now what I was asking from the seller.

Thanks.
Adiel

The origin of the seeds were from Thailand.   Not sure of the variety.

No, no "trial" or "test" program...as you are aware and made reference to,  these are durian we are talking about and being grown in Florida.
