It can also be found as an introduced species in many warm climates throughout the world.
Mature specimens can  survive brief exposure to light frost, but young trees will be killed by any drop below freezing.  It does best when kept above 50 degrees. It will adapt to moist and slightly dry soil, but will not produce fruit if the soil gets on the dry side.  It does not like acid soil, or acid plant food.
