Hello Steve,
    TN is a long way from NJ but here is our experience for what it's 
worth.  We planted maybe 15 seedlings in deep bottomland along a creek.  The 
flowers are beautiful but those that bloomed early were subject to late 
frosts.  And the humidity here caused foliar damage.
    Ours might have reached 10 ft. in 10 years but branched low down.  It 
would have taken some training to keep the branching at 6ft.     Hector
