How old is the tree, and is it grafted or a seedling?

It may be too young yet to flower.  Hanging leaves means it's drought stressed, so I'd water it now.

The variety in stock.

I took some miracle fruit berries to work, and we all played around with them.  In spite of sucking the berries very hard, and chewing them up and swishing them around in our mouths, two people had very little sweetness response, and still thought the lemon juice and vinegar tasted very sour.  Others were chugging the lemon juice like crazy, and the rest of us were sort of in the middle.
I am wondering if there is something to the genetic makeup of people, where it works or it doesn't, sort of like being able to taste PTC or not...Carolyn

There may be some berries that don't have enough ripe flesh to make much of an impression.  I'd give those people two or three fruits to insure they've been adequately dosed.   
There also may be varying degrees of response in people, depending on how accustomed they are to eating sweet things.  This is just speculation on my part.

 I enjoy the fruits with mediocre citrus, but otherwise don't find myself drawn to them.

Thanks for the link. If you look at beginning images of the boxes you can see that they don't have an ag inspection sticker on them. So it looks like they were not sent legally.
I could get boxes inspected, but i think USPS would not be happy with boxes stinking up their sorting facilities in transit. Also keep in mind that durian easily sells here, as there is enough demand for the fruits right here. So why would any business mail them out?

They were inspected and sent legally.  Since durian is not a fruit fly host, it is legal to ship, provided it gets visually inspected by the authorities.  Ono Farms on Maui is currently doing this mail order via their website, when in season. 
There may be more to come in the future, we shall see.

Fresh Hawaiian grown durian for sale.  http://www.onofarms.com/durianpromo.html

There may be other sources in the future. 

Anyone know the name/s of nursery's in Hawaii that carry these? I am interested in ordering.

I don't think he has any right now. David Frenz, Birds and Buds unlimited.

pronounced as 'cat mountain' in Cantonese, so conveniently the durian farmers and traders namely it as Mau Shan Wong (king)..

Cat Mountain King, I've heard it called.   I found Musang King to be excellent, though not my favorite.

That's fairly close to the house.  Guess you plan on pruning it regularly?

Glad to hear it was nothing too serious for you, Micah.

Sorry to hear about the durian, BIG.  Hopefully it will recover quickly.  I had a feeling that there might be worse news coming from you guys in Puna & in Ka'u than up in the northern part of the island.

Thanks.  Same thing happened with Iselle.  One durian snapped off at the trunk, about six feet up.  It's growing back quite nicely.
Durian wood is soft and somewhat weak, I guess.  A bit over 4 inches of rain at my place.  Looks like Oahu got most of the rain.

The main trunk of my best durian tree fractured in the wind, so 2/3 of it is now gone.

The only Pulasan I've had is Sibabat, and as others have said it is far superior to rambutan due to the exquisite flavor.

The only Rambutan I've sampled that has any complexity to the flavor would be Seelengkeng, my favorite.

However, Rambutans are much more consistent producers for me in Hawaii.

There is a new variety of Pulasan now available here that is supposed to be a more dependable bearer of fruits, but my tree is newly planted and I haven't had the opportunity to try anyone else's.

Lucky you!   

Lindsay will certainly help you locate other desirable fruit. 

Good luck with the Longkong. Last year on the Malaysian tour, we missed the season. There were trees everywhere, but only found one with a few fruit.

Lots of mangosteen though, and some fantastic chempadek.

 Malaysia has cooled off a bit lately, and had some rain, so hopefully you will get the same.

Odorata drops fruit when ripe, so it's not as necessary to keep them short. 
Nevertheless, I've tried to keep mine down a bit by cutting out the middle.
It grows like a weed-faster than other mangoes-and fills in canopy gaps quickly, so you can pretty much prune it anyway you please.

Fairchild was a loser for me-never produced a thing in 10 years. So, it was pruned to a stump.
 Rapoza and Florigon are fairly new additions for me, and still small.
Florigon has already produced, Rapoza has not.
