Hi KAren,
Generally when trees are listed up to a certain zone they suffer when hotter. However our zone has gone up to an 8 and I have large ones on the property here and they don’t suffer. So it might be good in warmer climes. They grow anywhere from 6 inches to a coupole of feet per year. There’s a whole chapter on this tree in “Growing At-Risk” Richo
