Yes,. I'd think it would do great in Arizona with some composted soil. 
It wouldn't surprise me if it found niches enough in concrete block to 
climb to the top and over but I really do not know. Perhaps a few 
strings here and there to give it a start might help. I am quite sure 
you will like the plant.    Jerry
