RAH - Thx for that. A bit more info on that subject to be specific. The farm in OH is in 6a - note this USDA data is from recorded temps 1976-2005 so if you subscribe to Global Warming it might shift Northerly over the lifetime of the trees - much longer than anyone reading this post....regardless the proof is in the trees living and thriving in ENE OH.
