Just because a plant starts somewhere does not mean it stays there, I have plants/seeds from pretty much all over the world.
Some can adapt to places where the experts will say they can not grow, the key is meeting the needs of that plant.
Whether it is a Araza or Araça or a Tejocote or a hybrid combination of several of them, fruit has a tendency to travel many miles from where they originated because they taste good. Just meet the needs of any plant/seed and give it a go and be sure to share the success or the failure with us all.
