I would check with a local nursery to see what they think. My local nursery has helped me so many times in the past because they don't just have knowledge about the zone but the soil in the exact area we're living in!

You would need to check your zone. I live in 7a and they do very well here. I have one that is rather large planted around 2004.

Have you asked a local nursery?
