Chanthaburis and even Laplaes are leading the low aroma charge, much to the horror of durian purists.There are now even smooth skinned types.The articles on Chanthaburi 1 and 2 rocked the durian world a few years ago just as the seedless laplaes have recently.I tried to cross the seed 'iron curtain' with permitted chanthaburi seeds a few years ago and the seed gastapo (customs) pocketed them.Quarantine are still doing high 5's and telling tales around lunchrooms about that fiasco.Luckily they caved in under the weight of common sense when I got a couple of seeds of the seedless laplaes recently.That reminds me, I almost sent an empty bag overseas labelled seedless lychee but remembered florida is not ready for them yet,and I digress.
Chanthaburis have not proved popular in thailand and do not tatse as good as press releases would have you believe.
