Some times it's the area of origin, The seller "Might" have a problem with a disease or insect. The DNR tries to control it.
Or the seller won't pay for a phytosanitary certificate and inspection.
Just 1 example, the Med Fruitfly cost CA tax payers over $1 billion a year

California has weird laws governing the types of fruits and other plants that go into it. The tree you want is probably not on their list of allowable plants. I want to bring honeysuckle there when I move, because I love the smell of the south, but I have to make sure it's allowed first.

because California already has its quota of fruits and nuts :)
I would like to find such a tree here in San Diego...

the main reason why they dont is due to diseases that can be spread from one tree to another.. ever heard of dutch elm disease? thats one of the ways how it got spread.. people bring trees from one place to another..
The main disease that messes with fruit trees in general is Blight.. that can spread throught out all the fruit trees..

California has very specific laws about what plants you can bring into the state; they have problems with several exotic invasive species.

There is no such a species of plant... fruit cocktail is a mixture of assorted fruits...

it has to do with taxes and cross pollenation.
