As long as you water enough, provide shade on the hottest days, and protection when it gets close to freezing, any trees native to your area should
be fine. Seems like many of us in cooler climates would love to be able to grow mesquite bonai.

Also, tropicals that can take the 40s like Bougainvillea, and even ficus should grow outdoors there with the same care as I mentioned above. There may be some suffering below 50 but they should be hardy to 40.
