	well, they grow like weeds here.  Don't have to do much; I haven't
planted any in 4 years because I get enough coming up from the fallen fruit
from the previous year.  If you water them they do better, but they will
produce anyway.  They are big, sprawling plants.  They even produce when it
gets over 100F (I am technically in a desert here, no rain May-Sept most
years,
ave high temps 94 or so most of the summer, but lows around 60).  Maybe they
don't like humid climates as well; I don't have any experience there.
