Yes you have to prune trees occasionally and watch for pests, but this is way to much work for a fruit that is not even as great as what we produce here in the states.

Like a new car, you need financing to afford them, and they do look scrumptious... all shiny and new (thanks to layers of wax and pesticides); but under the hood they're a mess. Hard, mealy, too tart from being picked and shipped before their engines are properly oiled.

The resulting fruit would be a controlled substance because of the deliciousness level.
