  • Cfb Temperate, no dry season, warm summer

The same climate occurs in 58 areas worldwide, 50 of which have no record of this plant. See them on the map

A matching climate does not mean the plant can grow there. Range limits are also set by things other than climate — dispersal history, soils, competition. Source: Beck et al. (2023), CC BY 4.0 (observed period 1991–2020).
