If you're concerned about heat, I haven't found that to be an issue. In 
New Mexico at 5000 feet,  I have several alnifolia varieties and I find 
them to be particularly tolerant of intense dry heat in situations where 
most other plants just wither. The same plants also do fine at my 7000 
ft location and they bear fruit very dependably.

Regards,

Jay
