They grow on the Canary Islands at various beaches, but nearly never fruit there (as I read on the web), so I doubt that my climate will be ideal. The Canary Islands have much warmer winters. Lows are around 15 °C there. So this makes at least zone 10 - 11. I'm in 9 and we get some freezes and at least three months with 'cold' weather in total.
But it'll make a nice plant in a pot for the summer on the balcony. May - Sept. should be fine for growing it outdoors and maybe it'll survive a few years.
