I live in a 7 zone more north, (Maryland) Once the first frost sets in and the trees turn brown , I cut them all the way down to the ground and cover them with mulch, about 6" or so. The following year they will start growing out of the ground and will get about 6-7 feet high. They will never produce fruit, since they need to mature for about 2 years but they grow to the same height or taller the following year.
