Langsat has more cold tolerance than longkong,duku or duku langsat. Paete and Utteraditt varieties might be worth a shot in Florida.

Mike T, the “Uttaradit” Langsat was fruited many times by Bill Whitman according to his book and people that saw the tree in person that I have talked to. He also fruited the “Conception” Langsat too, and as a matter of fact, I have heard from a guy that went to the property recently that the original Conception tree is alive still.  Bill’s estate is in a gated neighborhood in Bal Harbour, and is off limits to the public.  Interestingly, in his book Bill says that the Uttaradit tree had a very long season from August-April.  Unfortunately, his tree died after her removed a tree that was casting shade on the Uttaradit and it got severe sunburn.  I would love to grow Uttaradit here in Florida but I have no idea where to buy that variety. 

They seem to be bigger in winter time but the tree produces all year.
