Is there anyone here that grows maypop in zone 4?

I ordered these seeds and they arrive today.

I will be planting some in zone 4b in Wisconsin. Just wondering if anyone has had any success and or tips outside of their stated range. I've never had a maypop fruit. I'd like to try one.

I thought I read somewhere here that Paul has a goal of growing Montana Bananas?

*edited because I found some talk and it's about growing lemons in Montana which is probably much more useful and likely.

I had seen them at the local nursery but didn’t buy them in time because I couldn’t fit the pot into my backpack (was on bicycle that say). So, they are at least selling them here in Zone 5a.

Thanks that's good to know. This variety says zone 5.

I'll start seeds late winter indoors and see if I can find some good protected sunny spots in different locations to plant them. I think I know some people that would like to try them out in their yards too if I get plenty to germinate.

I had done a search and this was the most useful thread I've found so far...

Hey, check out my mega multi devastator cannon. It's wicked. It makes this tiny ad look weak:
