Can Samanea saman/rain tree survive in Mediterranean climate?

I found this article which states that cannot survive under 8 Celsius, here in Greece the Winter is very short, average temperature on winter is 5-15 C, its very rare for temperatures to drop bellow 10 Celsius and if that happens, it happens for very few days, what's your opinion?

I don't know for sure, but I think there is a chance. If you want to plant it, then plant it. Perhaps Samanea saman from seeds will be more adapted to your conditions.
Personally, I have some plants in my garden from more southern areas. According to the rules for the condition of their cultivation, they should have died long ago. But they live and even bloom.

Thank you very much for your answer, unfortunately i can't find this plant available here (that's why i have second thoughts about it, i mean, they don't sell it because it doesn't last? who knows).
