Does anybody know this tree?
It is flowering now nearby, in northern Crete.

Daisy great pics; makes identification easy if you know the plant in the first place!  I only know G robusta from Wye when it was grown as a pot plant.

 I have gardened in sub-tropical Florida, maritime UK, continental Europe and the Mediterranean basin, France. Of the 4 I have found that the most difficult climate for gardening is the latter.

We saw a lot of them in Cyprus.
Since then they have been planted here in Corinth but they are not doing too well
