I really don't believe the 15f. You will be losing some inches annually, and if it only grows a few inches each year, it'll slowly die back.
It seems you're committed to the cause, so just go for it and update us.
Folks in 8a/8b lose almost all the growth from the season off of their Campo Ramons. I know of one in Seattle and one outside on Vancouver Island. Waiting for Spring updates from them.
I don't see the point for 7a / 7b outdoors with no protection. Maybe 50% of the years they'd survive, but that one brutal frost and they're donezo.
Mine got to 6 foot or so and branches died back, came back and continued this cycle for a few years till it died.What do you suspect caused the dieback? What time of year would it die back?
