Logees has plenty of Susquehanna and Shenandoah available right now. Burnt Ridge Nursery also has plenty of other grafted varieties. Theres likely more atm, but these two sources are very reliable.

Hope you find a good one for your area.

Following up to say I recommend Jaboticaba45 first over any commercial sellers  ;D
He provided me a very well-grafted Susquehanna that handles the Florida sun like a champ.

After researching a while back, the best options I found for anything zone 8+ are Susquehanna or Sunflower. My grafted Susquehanna is doing good in 10, for now.

Or you could plant a ton of seeds and see which best survive your climate, then use those to graft or grow to maturity. Doing that as well here.
