Hi everyone

My name is Hannes. I am rather new to permaculture (and your website).
I have an 85Ha farm in the Eatern Cape of South Africa and want to start off with a 1Ha permaculture food forest.
My problem is - even though I've got lots of reading material and videos - that I can't seem to find any good sources for plants suitable to thos area.
It is a harsh environment with annual rainfall of 350mm (Oct to March), temperatures range from-15°C in June to 35 in Dec and often high winds of up to 50km/h.

Can somebody please help point me in the right directions?

Thanks
