Hi, it very much depends on where you live as to finding a specimen. For example here in Cyprus they are easily available as they are native to the island and provide the majority of the understory of the Pinus brutia woods on the mountain alongside the Cyprus Golden Oak (Quercus alnifolia). In the wild they grow from around 700-1300m, occasionally down as low as 100m in parts. Having said that my tree seems to be quite happy at a mere 30/40 m above sea level. It doesn't get direct irrigation in summer but probably benefits from being on the fringe of a vegetable area that does get regular watering.
