I know the tree well, having visited with it rather regularly - in the Rhine valley of Germany, a solid zone 8.

It is not going to like your incessant winter winds of Michigan, whether you reach the critical kill zone temperatures or not. It will appreciate acid sandy loam soils, and regular atmospheric moisture.

Keeping one alive versus growing one successfully as illustrated...those are two really different things. But hey - hope springs eternal!

If there isn't a boundary in the question - between where we currently live and what we'd love to live with (If I only Had the Room could mean property in the appropriate growing region!), then I'd have a hard time choosing amongst several of these individuals...
