Chris, 
A friend of mine has the vine growing in our area. zone 6 pa, 80 miles north 
of were you are. It's perfectly hardy here. It actually became invasive for 
him. Plant it in a place that it can be controled. I doesn't seem to be very 
productive.. but it will bloom.  it possibly needs cross pollination. 
Hope that helps

I know Akebia has been talked about on this listserv before, but I can't
remember 

the details.  Is it attractive, productive, hardy, and how is the fruit?
