Michael,
I think you would be fine if you could find a nice little microclimate for it and be ready to protect it for the first couple of years until it gets established. They are hardier than what most folks realize. Some say 0-5F, but I wouldn't want to test it at that temp... Hey, give it a go, you will never know unless you try.... I always kill at least 3 of anything before I finally concede!!!!
