Helene, I'm trying mm111 because of its high rating on drought tolerance, 
sandy soil, and ability to grow above the deer browse-line.  But it was one 
of the lesser rated for winter hardiness.  I'm resigned to losing a few trees 
if my z4/5 location ever goes back to real winters.

I don't have anything on it grown to maturity yet.  Same cultivars topworked 
on Bud 118 outgrow it.
