I just spend the money, time, resources, or favor that it takes to get the propagules, then I trial them in my garden. I have found intellectual research to be unpredictable regarding what will grow here. I temper that with a bit of discernment. I haven't yet planted an outdoor citrus. But I tried runner beans and mixta squash 5 years in a row before I harvested anything.
Besides the temperature, there is the humidity, the soil, the bugs, the irrigation, the brilliant sunlight, the strong radiant-cooling at night, the micro-climate, the farmer's habits, and who knows what else? They all contribute in a positive or negative manner to the health and well being of any particular plant. There are just too many variables for me to expect to be able to account for all of them with a thought experiment.
