We are an spaniard family from Madrid with a new house in Mallorca.We have brought with us some half hardy plants from our conservatory in Madrid to try to put them here outside.We are in a marvellous rocky cliff near by the sea, where strong and sometimes cold winds are frequent.We'll appreciate your suggestions for the best hedge/screen choice, some scented evergreen climbers and the survival posibilities for:Dracena drago and fragans, Cordyline terminalis, Avocado, Mango, Clivias miniata, Strelitzia reginae, HGippeastrum, Ficus benjamina, Beaucarnia, Cymbidium.Thanks for your advices.You might like to try a pittosporum hedge and rather than the usual Pittosporum tobira there is another species P. heterophylla (syn truncatum). This is an evergreen with small bright green leaves and highly perfumed small pale yellow flowers in May. It is very hardy and has thrived in my garden in a position completely exposed to the tramontane winds, which anyone who knows this Lauragais region of southern France will think no mean feat!
