I live on the WI-IL border in Zone 4b, in an area
that is probably similar to where you are. I planted a dwarf shipova last
spring that I purchased from One Green Place. The dwarfing stock is
supposed to make shipova bear earlier than the usual 6 to 8 years. The
tree has come through the winter in great shape and its buds are plump with
promise. The tree grew mere inches during the hot, dry summer, but it
seemed to establish a decent root system. Had no disease problems; sprayed
the tree several times with neem seed oil. The tree is planted on a steep,
west-facing moraine between a miniature pear (Le Nain Vert) and a Compact Stella
cherry. Those trees and four dwarf apples have thrived at that
location. Sorry that I have no other information to share. I am
curious about shipova and jujubes for our area, too.
