Many things can be accomplished in agriculture.
But it’s interesting that the areas in Asia where durian has been cultivated traditionally are mostly outside of the hurricane/cyclone belt. The furthest north that I know of where durians are being grown successfully in Central America is at about 15 degrees in Guatemala. Although Central America would appear suitable for durian, and it can be, there are many areas with a strong dry season and overwhelming dry winds. Jakfruit, mangoes, etc. do fine there but not durian, mangosteen, etc.
Durian could probably be grown in Southern Mexico but I’ve not heard of it.
A large beautiful durian tree loaded with fruit is a wonderous sight. I don’t think I’m ready to see the industrialized cable infrastructure with the poor durian branches strapped to it....
