For yangmei...
Now, not all can make it in 7b. I have selected a variety that does well with no leaf or branch dieback.
Other varieties will do branch dieback or even die.
They can take cold temps like i mentioned, but long periods of cold are not fun.
Will be a while before I can propagate it. And I'm sure there's other ones that will do just as good.
Just I don't know which ones.
I've only tried the common ones.
Jabowise, the nearest jabo to me that's in ground with no protection is around a 7 hour drive south. :'(
Unless you count my big sabara in ground in the greenhouse
For the yangmei, it was exactly what you are trying to do in this situation. I didn't want to put them in my greenhouse so I trialed them outside.
Although yangmei has more cold tolerance with them getting snow sometimes.
