Ja, het lijkt er op dat Davesgarden er flink naast zit. Heb inmiddels ook de herkomst weten te traceren en dat is inderdaad Midden-Amerika: Guatemala. Wel de meer gematigde delen van Guatemala, maar zone 8? Ik betwijfel het. In de pot houden lijkt verstandig.
Vond verder na flnk zoeken nog deze (Amerikaanse) info:
The Mango Cestrum is said to tolerate temperatures down to 25-30 degrees F (-3 C), although it grows best when protected from frost. Despite coming from a mild climate, it is known to grow in warmer areas like Florida and Texas. It can flower in a variety of lighting conditions, from part sun to full sun. Some shade from strong afternoon sun might be needed in hotter conditions. It grows best in well-draining soil, with regular watering and feeding, much like its cousin, Brugmansia. It grows well indoors in a pot, where it can bloom year-round! The fruit and leaves of some Cestrum species contain a toxin, so keep pets and small kids from munching on it. This is a non-invasive species.
