You sure about that, Bro? In my experience, JA is a *weed*--put it into 
the ground and it will *go*--anytime, any place. I've certainly planted 
it in the fall here, maybe not as close to frost as you may be there 
(I'm zone 6b), but I expect as long as the ground isn't frozen, you can 
make your planting now. Then you don't have to worry about storage & 
other issues.

You keep an eye on them JAs, now--they need a *lot* of discipline!

Good luck.  ~Harvey
