This warmth loving plant tolerates a pot indoors for the winter though and has nice foiliage.
This plant performs best in the southern warmer zones such as bananaT's.

Actually, I have noticed that Patupi do like it on the cooler side; 80's seem to be the sweet spot.
They struggle some when we get in the 90's.
But when you think about it the tropics are not that "hot". Most places are fairly stable temp wise. Not 40 one day, and than 98 the next.... Florida...
Another thing; the Patupi stress fruit real easily. Cut them back, stick them in a large pot and they will most likely fruit.
