I do not think it would live long here in IL

I'm sure tropical plants would love the sub-freezing winter in Utah... :roll:

I'm in a climate in FL that just can't tolerate tropical fruit trees - we usually have a hard freeze once a year that will kill them 🙁 I would like to grow a mango tree - if I could find a hardy variety, I think I'd give it a go.

The only fruit tree I have right now is a Peach tree, but that's FAR from tropical 😛

I've got fig, pomegranite, lemon, lime, & orange trees (dwarf) in my greenhouse and a dwarf banana in my house, and hardy kiwis in my garden.

There are several species that should be okay in AZ zone. However, you might want to give it more water when it is hot. I?m not sure as how hardy they are at fruit bearing in AZ.

There are tropical fruit such as guava, sapodilla, jack fruit, sapote, star fruit, pomelo, mango, and durian, that make it in FL. Cover the trunk during a freeze may allow the tree to live in a harsher environment.

I'm in Zone 8 - we usually experience a few nights out of the year where temps dip into the teens 🙁
