Every day this week durian would suffer slight damage at these temps in san diego. 8c is minimal for durian, you could make in ground greenhouses with heating though. Water tanks with water heaters work well so do solar heated black water tubes and in ground air circulation. Its not impossible but its not easy either.

I would be interested in hearing who has the longest living durian tree in California so far

Durian in california !!!!!! These things are barely happy in temps under 20C they are much happier with consistent 25-35C with rain and extremely high humidity like we have here atm.
