    Yes, this tree should do fine there. It requires well-drained soil and full sun. Tolerates wind and drought. When dormant are hardy to about -20°C. but only hardy to about -10°C in the maritime climate of this country. The young growth in spring, even on mature plants, is frost-tender and so it is best to grow the plants in a sheltered location. If killed back to the ground by a severe winter, plants can often resprout from the base. Plants are quite tolerant of pruning and is best done in late winter or early spring.

    You can either put them in the garage (make sure to water them once a month - that is all they need), bury the pots in the ground or you can place them against your foundation and cover the pots with leaves or straw. Any of these options are fine. Pots left outdoors will not need to be watered as they will get water from rain and snow.

    Some plants need a few years to reach their full coloration. As this is a relatively new variety, there is little information on it. I would give it a year or two to reach its full potential.

    DO NOT EAT THE SEEDS!
    They are poisonous and can cause serious health concerns including seizures and death.
