Cephalotus follicularis in San Antonio: Winter OK, Summer Fatal

A San Antonio grower (Zone 8b/9) asks if Cephalotus can live outdoors year-round.

Winter: Possibly; Summer: No

Brief frosts to ~28°F are tolerated (SW Australia climate ≈ Central CA). But San Antonio summers are far too hot—Cephalotus hates heat. Our Oregon greenhouse hits 90°F days but cools to 50°F nights; Texas lacks that relief. Keep it in air conditioning.
