Default How cold hardy is eucryphia ?

Eucryphia x Intermidia 'Rostrevor' is a beautiful tree and we are
thinking of ordering one to plant. However we are in Zone 7. Anyone
know how cold hardy they are? We can't seem to get a clear idea of
that from online sources.
Thanks

The American Horticultural Society A-Z
Encyclopedia of Garden PLants puts the hardiness of E.x intermedia

'Rostrevor'
at Zone 9-10.
Botanica says zones 8-9
Zone 8 being 10-20 deg. F.

Doubt it would fare very well in zone 7. They are relatively hardy here in
PNW zone 8, but mine did suffer some significant foliar damage this past
winter, which had a few unsually cold spells.
