Hi Adrienne,

I'm located in a zone 3b in SW Wisconsin

I have two American Chestnut seedlings (from Bear Creek, I think) that are 
25 feet tall in around 10 years.  They've never been damaged and my coldest 
temp has been on the low size of -40F/C.  I do get decent summer heat 
here--not sure if that would make a difference.  Hybrid chestnuts have not 
done well.

Go for it!!

Steve H.
