Red, Sabara, Blue, unknown jabo, and others grow well here, not far from you. My yard is 3 inches of dirt (tops), and then solid limestone.
Dug as much as could, added dirt, peat, and other stuff. Created a mound.
The big one (10 feet?) has been in ground 4.5 years. Produces okay, 2 - 3 times per year.
They need lots of water. That is probably a bigger issue, and water chemistry perhaps. They seem okay with my city and well water; rain is the best.
Mine get partial sun, full sun several hours per day, and shade a good part of the day.
