No experience, but I googled it for you(and my own curiosity):
drought tolerant
deep rooted
excellent hardness and shear strength observed as timber.
That means it will probably withstand constant drying winds, endure strong gusts without limbs breaking or it uprooting(when mature).
As far as leaf-retention and flower/fruit production, the literature is less clear.
Keep in mind that any tree subject to constant wind will grow more slowly, and may stay stunted or lean sideways unless properly staked when young.
