How hardy is Japanese maple peaches and cream?

Zones are a crap shoot but any Japanese maple can safely be grown in zone 6, but most can be grown in the warmer parts of zone 5 . Peaches and Cream should do ok in 5b or any place it is no exposed to anything consatantly at or below -15 and has some protection . All variegated JMs will need some shade in summer too . Many Jms who die blamed on the cold are actually due to being too wet or sitting in water or freezing water in winter. Peaches and cream is not less hardy thasn most Jms. The most important thing is to not buy a twig, which many etailers sell because they are easy and cheap to ship. Lack of a developed root system of a young tree will likely doom your tree if it gets even to zero. Davidsan
