The average annual temperature of 18 ℃ above the region is most suitable for planting, easy to get a good yield. Therefore, in warm and humid areas of southern China, especially Hainan region is widely distributed .
Moisture
General annual rainfall between 1500 to 2000 millimeters and evenly distributed under the conditions of the best growth of egg fruit, while the commercial development of planting areas should not be less than 1000 millimeters.
