It is a slow-grower and not tolerant of cold at all. After the freeze of Dec. 2010 I lost 100 of them and the ones that didn't get killed outright took a long time to send up new shoots. The fruit tastes like banana. I wouldn't grow it anywhere where freezes and frosts occur because you will not likely see fruit.
