Is it possible to grow ginger in western central Wheat-belt region of Western Australia, (Beverley)? Average temp is 26C and rainfall is 400mm. I have water for irrigation.

Yes you can grow ginger. Best in a ceramic pot with rich composted soil. Early morning sun then full/dappled shade. Likes water, mist the leaves on very hot days. Plant rhizomes in Nov/Dec. When the leaves start to die off around June stop watering. You can harvest in Spring.

It suggests here that you can't. You could try a small area/few as a trial. Planting time would be the guess work, maybe plant spring to have a crop autumn winter.
