During the 'normal' winter, it can get down to about 35F, and
during the summer over 100F, but here, I can grow it in a
ice cooler like I did in Hawaii and bring it inside for the
winter. I've got elm trees on the west side of my trailer
and in front (northside) of it, so I can have them in dappled
sun/shade. Funny thing was, over in Hawaii, I had it out in the
full SUN! I saw another bunch of it growing be a driveway
over there about 1/2 mile my last place, it had grown to cover
about a 20sq.ft area and it was in full sun too.
