My impression is that it really needs tropical-like conditions to do well. So, if you can time it right, Veinte Cohol can do well in SE USA, where summer is hot and humid. But then you need a greenhouse to keep it happy the rest of the year. With my year-round, cool coastal conditions in CA, it grows at a snails pace in summer and nearly dies each winter. And it seems like the jury is still out on flavor. Maybe some of the members who have them fruiting this year will gives us their opinions.
