[Bay Area] Good source for tropical fruits?

In late spring/early summer, I’ve noticed good quality lychee (probably from Hawaii/Mexico) at the produce stores on the south side of Irving in SF. There are two Chinese-owned stores between 20th and 23rd Avenues in addition to the Greek-owned 22nd and Irving Market.

I would be particularly interested in learning which imported tropical fruit is not irradiated, or at least, not so irradiated that it impacts the quality much.

The owner of Azalina’s once told me that there is a farm in southern California that grows durian. Does anyone know if their product can be found in any store up here?
