Even here in my Zone 9 the leafs die and my growing season is considerably longer then 6 months i don't have any that keep there leafs or have ever fruited so its hard to say on that but I'm sure there will be one some day probably threw a genetic gene splicing i would think at the rate it takes to breed new plants it would have to be a mutation of a manipulation if you want it in are life time perhaps on of the hymilain speacies yet to be discoverd
i would think Ingens would keep its leafs in a zone 8 garden but it could never talarat the heat of summers in the lowlands but it takes years to fruit and its not edible
