I can help with the HEAT, but not the humidity so much. Two are standouts in my 100deg and above every day in the month of June every year. Green Zebra and Bonnie Best. They both go all summer here and Both were loaded with fruit in the second week of Dec 07 when the first hard freeze zapped them. Green Zebra gets over 12-15ft tall by the end of the summer and Bonnie Best hardly reaches 6ft., but both race to see who can produce the most fruit. When our humidity comes in during July with the monsoons, they both are very tolerant of most diseases that may have taken out other maters. The usual lower brown leaves, but nothing major. Heatwave also does pretty good, but the taste is not as good as the others, and it slows production the second half of the season. 8)
