I doubt it would do well at all in either location during the summer. It is a highland species and not only likes, but REQUIRES cool nights to live ( I suspect around 50-60°F). During tests in Papua New Guinea, it was found that seeds would germinate at sea level, but could only stay alive if kept in air conditioned rooms at night. Also, in Trinidad, when it was grown there by Simmonds, it grew very poorly and only lived a few months in the tropical conditions before it died.

Perfect for western Norways summers then!
Also, people living in the mountains of the Canaries could probably grow this plant.
