Worked out from 30 years of climate records for Paraburdoo. Microclimates vary: frost hollows and hills run later.
A fast-growing giant herb that fruits well in the tropics and subtropics and in warm, sheltered temperate gardens. It needs heat, rich soil and lots of water, and frost kills the leaves. Each stem fruits once. Panama disease is a serious threat, so only buy certified plants from an approved nursery and never move suckers.
