This has been attempted in San Diego and southern CA in general many times by many people since the 1850's -- and at greater frequency in recent years. There have been no successes to date. We don't have the humidity at the correct time of year to envelope the plant in heat. I'd love to see someone succeed.
Similarly: Oranges, Grapefruit, Mandarins, and Avocados take 16 to 20 months to ripen here depending on the cultivar.
