I see this one periodically, mainly as multistemmed shrubs in the edge of 
older homes - both here in W.KY, and have seen it at the U of KY's Robinson 
Forest forestry research center in eastern KY.  No evidence of winter 
damage that I've noticed.  Nor have I ever seen any evidence of fruit - but 
I'll have to say I haven't really looked, either.
