Monterey Pine



Hullo & Happy New Year from frozen London

I'm wondering whether Monterey pine, Pinus Radiata would be happy in W. Sicily.

Sicily is HZ 10, we have strong winds from the sea,  rain in the

winter ( at the moment ), but it is hot and dry in the summer, and the soil is not acid.

I have seen Pinus Radiata growing well in SWest England, and read that it originates

round San Francisco, but also that it grows in the Baja peninsula.

Stone pines and Aleppo pines grow well with us, &  I do love the shape of mature 

Monterey pines.

I would be grateful for any thoughts on this,

with best wishes
