I bought this tree exactly 21 years ago.
It was a very small and tender seedling in
a little disposable white plastic coffee cup.
The tray came from Vietnam.
This is to give an idea of our climate in Santa Catarina.
Joinville is the warmest City in Santa Catarina and even so

can be cultivated with relative success.
Uphills we have extensive apple plantations, Glicinias do well,
bloom cherry trees, Narcissus and some tulips.
Brazil is not a torrid over warmed up land only.
