According to research durian is to native to Borneo and Sumatra. Durian is found wild or semi-wild in South Tenasserim, Lower Burma, and around villages in peninsular Malaya, and is also commonly cultivated along roads or in orchards from southeastern India and Ceylon to New Guinea. About 400 years ago, there was a lively trade in durians between Lower Burma to Upper Burma where they were prized in the Royal Palace. South Vietnam and Thailand are important producers of durians. An association known as the Association of Durian Growers and Sellers was formed in 1959 to standardize quality and marketing practices.
Furthermore, durian is actually rare in the New World. The durian Seeds from Java were planted at the Federal Experiment Station in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico in 1920. The single resulting durian tree bloomed heavily in February and March in 1944 but only 1 fruit matured in July and it had but 3 normal carpels. However, there were six fully developed durian seeds which germinated and were planted. The durian tree has fruited in Jamaica and Dominica.
