I can't advise as to which are or are not cold hardy


i sell a.palmatum at conventions. i have gotten back reports from many
repeat offenders. a.p. are very sensitive to wind and to salt, and alkaline
conditions.
i have clients who grow them in buffalo, boston, madison, wi. milwaukee,
southern michigan, maine.
microclimates play an important part.
with your seedling, if it's in a container, protect it, new roots freeze.
all of my grafting buddies in nj protect the new roots for the 1st winter.
i have thousands of seedlings every year here at my place. we mow them.
not many come back the 2nd year.
