hardiness of winter king hawthorn to zone 7?

sandyinva
12 years ago

I need to replace a maple that had been placed too close to my house 30 years ago. It split in a winter storm last winter.

I was thinking of a winter king Hawthorn ( about 15 feet from the house, not 6,) but have seen different zone recommendations for hardiness varying 6 to a 7. We do not get down to zero often in Northern VA but it does happen. Anyone have one in zone 7?
