Good to hear about its potential cold-hardiness! I've heard mixed reviews so far. I had one in the ground this year, but planted it on a dry slope, so it didn't grow hardly any this year. That and it burned up for some reason. I think it likes some shade. I dug mine up and moved it to the greenhouse, and will find a better spot for it next year. Hayes has one in Anniston that is pretty good-sized. We'll see how hardy it is in a southern zone 8a. I assume those were from Agri-Starts? They look great! It is very slow here, but again I think that's because of the siting and the drought.
