I'd like to gather thoughts, opinions, or personal experiences on ordering trees from more southern zones. Our property is in the middle of zone 4 in southern MN. I'm considering, and worried about, ordering trees from more southern zones (5 and 6).
Does anyone have any experience (good or bad) with ordering trees that are rated zone 3 and 4, but grown and sold out of more southern zones (5 and 6)?
Are these trees as hardy as if I were to buy them from a nursery growing these trees in zone 4?
Should I be worried about the longevity of these trees surviving harsh winters?
I'm interested in everyone's thoughts and/or experiences. Thanks you.
