Most of these listed fruits are cool-area fruits. Raspberries for one
will not grow in mediterranean climates. This is why they grow best in
Scotland in the UK - they need the cool and long days. Kiwi will
probably do fine as they're too tender for uncovered growth in the UK,
and I'm not sure about apples (which do need a fair bit of water) but
I think with the rest you may have problems.
