Hi Jeff,

Yes to the north of Portugal.
temperatures vary from -3Cº during the night a couple of days a year and 30-35ºC in summer.

Thanks


I was thinking of something more-or-less native - Cork oak (Quercus
suber) or Olive. I guess the latter does give you some sort of edible
crop, whereas the oak doesn't. But it is evergreen with attractive
leaves and bark.

I don't know if it would meet your needs, but Diospyros kaki (persimmon)
might be worth considering, although you would need a couple of plants
as it is dioecious.
