TRY THE VIETNAMESE GROCERY STORES IN GARDEN GROVE CA.(LITTLE SAIGON)AS THEY SOMETIMES HAVE FRESH DURIN NOT FROZEN FROM THAILAND.MOST THAI VARIETIES HOWEVER, ARE SEEDLESS BUT YOU MIGHT GET LUCKY....YOU MIGHT ALSO TRY DOW SEEDS IN SINGAPORE FOR VIABLE SEED. SEEDLINGS ARE SLOW TO FLOWER,AND THE FRUIT COULD BE INFERIOR,BUT IF YOUR NOT IN THE TROPICS,IT IS AT LEAST A CONVERSATION PIECE FOR YOUR HOT HOUSE.LOOK FOR A BOOK BY WILSON POPONOE ON TROPICAL FRUIT....THE QUOTE BY ALFRED WALLACE THE VICTORIAN NATURALIST MAKES EXCELLENT READING.CHEERS.....

I saw some fresh durian at 99 ranch market yesterday in Houston, but it's definitely not cheap, 4.99 a pound.
