Why these dates

Killed by frost. Genuinely tropical, and not a temperate garden crop under any management.

Seed packets and extension guides express timing as weeks either side of the last spring frost, because that is the only reference point that travels. Cassava are timed with planting out 2 weeks after it, and this page simply resolves those offsets against the frost date computed for Oran.

Hardiness is not the obstacle here. Oran is zone 10b, comfortably inside the range this crop is rated for, so an established plant should come through an average winter without protection.
