> Hello,
> i'm  living on Reunion Island a French territory near Mauritius in the
> south west of the Indian ocean.
> As i am keen on Durian and more generally on growing plants and trees
> i would like to introduce the specie on this Island.
> Still i ask myself few questions about the actual interest of doing
> it. Will the tree bear fruits would be my main question. Indeed it
> seems to what i've read on the web that Reunion would be a very limit
> area for it to be grown. The Island is located at 21 ° South latitude
> and climate is tropical on the coast while subtropical in the hills.
> I've read Durian is successfully grown at similar latitude in the
> northern hemisphere in Hawaii. Do you have any datas concerning its
> growth at such latitude in the southern hamisphere?
> Thanks to let me know about this.
> Best regards
> Samuel
