Maybe. I have been trying for some years, and it dies back to the
ground every winter, and so has never started to grow.

You could also try C. canadiensis.

Grrk. In the open, it will be a small shrub, if it thrives. As with
some of the others, it's the lack of a summer that is its problem.


You could also try Halesia monticola and Maclura aurantica.
