Anyone have this tree alive an doing well in zone 4?

See it listed as 4 or 5
Thought chummer had said in the past he planted a couple and he is in an icebox.
Interested in one for the home orchard.
Neat sounding old variety.
Any info appreciated

Checked on it today. Alive and well! That is the second winter it has made it through.

It should be the perfect tree for me. It says they prefer moist cool climates. I top out at 85 and that is rare, and I have plenty of moisture.

I have some grafted onto standard root stock from last year and am waiting to see if they survived my Wisconsin winter with a -38 temp for a low. They should survive up here.
