Sorry I posted my question before introducing myself. Well, I grow fruit and nuts trees up on Mount Lebanon in the middle east. I have about 200 stone-pine trees which give tasty pine-nuts. I also have chestnuts and hazelnuts. In addition, I have some apples, cherries, plums and the like. The location is at an elevation of 1000 m (3000ft+) so the climate is quite pleasant in summer and slightly cold in winter which suits my trees. Happy to be on this form.

Welcome Rudy.

3000ft, that's high! Our highest point here in Britain is not much more than that.

I like the elevation changes

Yes, the elevation makes a difference. Down on the coast, they can plant banana, avocados and other sub-tropicals. Up here, the temperature is normally 5 degrees Celsius lower and the winter is cold enough to give some trees the needed winter chilling : apples, cherries, hazelnuts, and chestnuts.
