Worked out from 30 years of climate records for Alice Springs. Microclimates vary: frost hollows and hills run later.
A handsome evergreen tree for the subtropics and the cooler tropics. It needs a week or more of cool nights below 20 °C to flower, then warm, humid summers. It is frost-tender when young and does poorly in cold or dry inland areas. Expect a small crop after 4 or 5 years.
