Thanks for the detailed answer! I'll have a look. Hard to predict the future here as I'm in the north of the Alps and currently warmed by the gulf stream. But I guess oaks are native here as well as in Italy so they would be a fit. A slow growing one, but beautiful as well.
Gulf stream is a tough issue because of the uncertainty around when it may happen and what its effects will be. Some research I've seen suggests the biggest temperature effects will be confined to coastal northern Europe but I'm not sure how certain that is. Hopefully research over the coming years will clarify that issue. In the meantime, two approaches may have merit. Species that tolerate a wide range of environments will be useful. And then on a broader scale, diversity will be important in case some species become unsuitable, others will endure.
Yeah, we'll see once it happens. I'm not too keen on the outcome of this to be honest.
