What is the climate like in Sydney's suburbs? How cold does it get in winter? I know it's sub-tropical, but are you able to grow bananas there for example?
do temperature ever go below 0³c.
I have an uncle there, he's telling that he's growing a mango tree in his garden, is this typical for sydney area?
I'll be traveling to Sydney in January. I live in a cold part of that states.

| Sydney more or less has subtropical summers and temperate winters. Often in summer there can be 10C difference in the maximum temperature across the city (which is about 100km wide) - the coastal areas often get sea breezes which keeps the temperature down. You can definitely grow mangos, banannas, pawpaws etc, as long as you plant them in a sunny area and protect them from frost (some parts of Western Sydney will get frost in winter, but these are mostly on the Cumberland Plains). |
