People interested in winter hardy tropicals might want to join the
California Rare Fruit Growers.  Those members, and their periodical "Fruit
Gardener" have a more tropical/subtropical bent than NAFEX and Pomona.  The
online growing guides and bulletin boards are also good resources.  And we
do have zone 5 members - CA isn't all sunny-and-warm-all-the-time
everywhere...

Geoffrey, there was at least one review article on hardy citrus in the 
Pomona a few years ago that covered these topics. I don't know if the 
index goes that far yet.
