If I recall correctly, they are only cold hardy to zone 5, so if you want to grow them there in zone 4 ish, they will need a micro climate to survive. They will also do best growing in pots where they can get some shelter in the first winter, at least untill they are more established after the first winter sheltered. If the tree doesn't have the ability to produce enough sugars, their cold hardiness drastically diminishes based on that poor health or vigor. So keeping them in tip top health will be essential to winter survival. The only down side is with grand solar minimum on the horizon, it's not the best time for pushing the boundaries of winter hardiness. As unusual cold weather in winter will be a common problem during grand solar minimum, making any long term use of most micro climates obsolete for effectively pushing cold hardiness zones with long lived perennials like trees.
If I'm correct about the cold hardiness, it may be best to look at more hardy options like apples, plums, mulberry and even honeyberry for tasty fruits or berries.
Hope that helps!
