Bougainvilliers is very resistant, but need correct watering when young.
About tree, you have the strawberry tree, giving fruits, the Peruvian pepper which repels mosquitos and other insects, the famous Olive tree, but it need regular pruning, the Medlar which gives fruit earlier in the season, and small tree like the Bay tree (Laurus nobilis) used in our cooking, the Orange tree but no so high, all citrus family. These are the ones coming in my mind now.
