It is doubtful that they would take that in the UK, because of our
severe waterlogging and frost/warmth cycles in the winter with
continual 100% humidity. However, I have heard that they are
adequately hardy in quite a lot of the UK - including all of the
milder parts.

Ones that I know of in the UK that grew without a problem was in the fair
city of York.....as to water logging...that is easily taken care off with
some deep digging plus sand or what have you...a little bit of work I must
admit.
