You have hit it on the head:~))
PS She is now totally convinced that URG is full of gardening experts and
has asked the following:
"Yup, reckon he's right - good chap Charlie, must really know his plants"
"Perhaps he could tell me what other 'exotic' but frost hardy (down to minus
14) plants grow in pure chalk with a thin middle PH (6.5) residual topsoil
where summer temperatures can reach 50° and we can have three months without
any real rain !!!! ?"

Hardly Cornwall is it!!
Still I recently read (2006) a good piece in "The Garden" on fruit such as
Quinces and Figs, where there has apparently been much progress with
varieties, which now give better more usable crops, be worth a read. But the
stated conditions are so far from mine I can help from experience.
