I have two seedling Diospyros virginiana here in Michigan.  I am in zone
5 near Lansing, MI.  One produces fruit very reliably and the other
produces a few fruit some years.  Last year production was down because
of a late frost.  I don't know if this winter's cold temperatures will
effect production.

    Hartmann Plant Company is tissue culturing Diospyros virginiana
recommended for zone 4.  If not already growing in the northern-most
States, they likely soon will be.
