Never stand under a durian tree unless you want a spike head. I think Malaysian varieties are not available anywhere outside the country - there's never enough for local consumption every season.

I just saw some on display at May Wah Supermarket on Clement St. They are $1.19 per pound and are they ever heavy. Possibly 5 to 10 lbs each? I didn't have time to weigh one but got poked when picking it up. You would almost need to wear heavy leather gloves to get near them. They are in a net bag so you can pick them up without hurting yourself. Asian markets on Clement St. in San Francisco between 4th Ave. and 9th Ave. (aka New Chinatown in the Richmond District) May Wah Market on Irving St. near 25th Ave. in the Sunset District of San Francisco (I won't suggest SF Chinatown because I've never personally ever seen them out on the produce bins --not that I ever specifically look for them.) 99 Ranch markets in Foster City (east of San Mateo off Hillsdale Blvd. near Hwy 101) or off Skyline Blvd. in Daly City. Many Asians live down in Sunnyvale, San Jose, Fremont, Oakland (Oakland Chinatown) and I know they must have them in their Asian markets too. Pick them up at the market if they are in season.

We grow just about everything else. But why would you want to eat something that smells so bed that it has been banned from opening and eating in so many places where it is grown?

Actually there are a few select places where you can actually buy Durian Fruit in the US. There's a place in Ohio which carries it. Yeah, I saw that episode of Food Hunter too.

Put it in a box sealed tight. There your durian goes! wrap it with newspapers first and re-wrap it with plastic bag to confine the odor. Put it in a box sealed tight. There your durian goes!
