Mine is doing great in SoFL. Got a little stressed over the winter (had just been planted), and is now pushing all kinds of new growth. At least 4 feet tall.
Go for it. If your soil is alkaline, I recommend making a large hole, lining it, and amending the soil to a more neutral or slightly acid ph. Sandy loam. I mixed sand, top soil, peat, vermiculite, compost, biochar, and some store bought soil mixes.
Painting liner with microkote copper nutrient paint might help.
Full sun only part of the day. Needs some shade and protection from wind. Mist daily if you can.
