mIEKAL,

 

My yellowhorn is three to four feet tall and has flowered for the last two years.  I am also aware of yellowhorns growing to large size at the Dominion Arboretum in Ottawa, Canada, a zone 4.  Perhaps you need to plant them well out of the wind.  The wood seems quite fragile, which might indicate a native habitat that's protected.

Steve What size is your yellowhorn & has it flowered yet? Ive planted several yellowhorn out & they winter killed so Ive been growing them up in pots until they become a healthy size. Very slow growing in pots.

Chuck My dyslexia always gets the better of me. The seed company is JL HUDSON & the url is:
http://www.jlhudsonseeds.net/

Ive been buying seeds from them for 15 years & have never been let down. Also if you have the time I highly recommend reading thru his pro-exotic plants rants (regardless of if you agree with him) that are peppered throughout the catalogue.

I have a four-year-old (four years since planting) Yellowhorn in Lone Rock, USDA Zone 3, that showed no damage at -40F.  Bailey's wholesale nursery out of St. Paul, MN rates the plant as Zone 4 hardy.  Unlike most nurseries, their hardiness ratings for northern zones are actually pretty good.
