Can I bring fruit from Mexico into Düsseldorf airport?

I'm traveling in Mexico and would love to take some papayas (2-3) and mangos (3-4) from Mexico on my flight from Cancun, Mexico to Düsseldorf, Germany to bring home.

On the customs page of Düsseldorf Airport I can't find anything specific about fruits and I know some countries don't allow fruits if you cross the border overland (sometimes even within the same country). The website states more of alcohol, cigarettes, meat, milk products and so on. I also have a transfer in Manchester and I will put these fruits in my carry-on.

Can anyone guarantee if I can or cannot bring the fruits in, since I don't want to buy them to have them throw away after the flight.
