Has anyone successfully grown jujube in zone 5 or colder?

I'm in NM at 7000 feet. There are a number of trees that I've tried here that ought to grow in even colder climates but which get their tops killed in the winter. I think it's a combination of temperature (record lows have been -25), wind, strong sun, dryness, thaw and freeze. The trees that have topped-killed include Illinois Everbearing mulberry, American persimmon, and walnuts. The American persimmons eventually get tough enough growth to survive, but any grafted plants lose the grafted portion.

I'm concerned that the tops of jujubes would not make it. Any experience?

Regards,

Jay
