Default [IBC] Misquoted

serissa is a tropical( as Iris said)* that loves and withstand cold

Serissa is a SUBtropical, from southern China. It survives below freezing
weather. It apparently prefers a cool rest in the fall in order to thrive,
similar to pomegranates & other Mediterranean natives. Some varieties of serissa
succumb to excessive heat, but the ones I have right now seem to be doing all
right in our unusually hot summer, with plenty of water & a little shade. I
gather serissa does reasonably well in Florida; don't know about the Bahamas. You
would have to ask growers in Hawaii.
