Basils do not come from one climate zone. There are several species, ranging from tropical to subtropical. The greek and the "african" types are from higher subtropical altitudes in NE Africa. Italian basil is thought to have been originally imported from Reunion Island. Several of the "asian" types are from the near-tropics. There is great variety and I don't think that one cultivation method applies to them all.
