I wonder how wise it would be. If they are Turkish made then they will
not be frost proof, so if there is a hard Winter(even less likely in
Cornwall I guess)they may not survive.

Depends which bit of Turkey!..

Because of Turkey's geographical conditions, one can not speak about a
general overall climate. In Istanbul and around the sea of Marmara (Marmara
region) the climate is moderate (winter 4 deg.C and summer 27 deg.C); in
winter the temperature can drop below zero. In Western Anatolia (Aegean
region) there is a mild Mediterranean climate with average temperatures of 9
deg.C in winter and 29 deg.C in summer. On the southern coast of Anatolia
(Mediterranean region) the same climate can be found. The climate of the
Anatolian Plateau (Central Anatolian region) is a steppe climate (there is a
great temperature difference between day and night). Rainfall is low and
there is more snow. The average temperature is 23 deg.C in summer and -2
deg.C in winter. The climate in the Black Sea area (Black Sea region) is
wet, warm and humid (summer 23 deg.C, winter 7 deg.C). In Eastern Anatolia
and South-Eastern Anatolia there is a long hard winter, where year after
year snow lies on the ground from November until the end of April (the
average temperature in winter is -13 deg.C and in summer 17 deg.C).
