Well, it seems to be working out form me and I am also in Zone 9B/10A. I will say that GM loves our heat but only tolerates our "winter". If I had to compare it to my other varieties, I would say it tolerates colder weather about as well as my Double Mahoi. Expect to see yellowing of leaves at the very least. I should clarify however, my mat has only gone through one winter with no frosts.

Additionally, I lost my first bunch to some strong winds, so don't forget to prop!
