[nafex] Jujube

Has anyone successfully grown jujube in zone 5 or colder?

I'm in NM at 7000 feet. There are a number of trees that I've tried here
that ought to grow in even colder climates but which get their tops
killed in the winter. I think it's a combination of temperature (record
lows have been -25), wind, strong sun, dryness, thaw and freeze. The
trees that have topped-killed include Illinois Everbearing mulberry,
American persimmon, and walnuts. The American persimmons eventually get
tough enough growth to survive, but any grafted plants lose the grafted
portion.

I'm concerned that the tops of jujubes would not make it. Any experience?

Regards,

Jay
