Mark,

Mine is in a bucket and I bring it in every winter. I believe it is a
native to New Caledonia which is I believe is in the subtropics and if
correct would not survive outdoors in Ohio. It is 30 chromosome. Mine is
pistillate and without a pollinator produces attractive inedible
seedless fruit.
