I can't picture these being hardy to zone 6 let alone zone 5 but maybe
there is quite a bit of variability.
I see this one periodically, mainly as multistemmed shrubs in the edge of
older homes - both here in W.KY, and have seen it at the U of KY's Robinson
Forest forestry research center in eastern KY. No evidence of winter
damage that I've noticed. Nor have I ever seen any evidence of fruit - but
I'll have to say I haven't really looked, either.
