have you ever tried to grow Barbados cherry? it is NOT the same as a black cherry but they are delicious and a super source of Vit C and they can grow pretty hot...might be a fun plant to play around with

i just pitted a gallon bag of cherries for my daughter last night (purchased, cant grow them at all) and i am about to go and destroy that bag LOL

I'll look into the Barbados cherry. I love cherries so much. The hardest thing about making a pie with them is that as I'm pitting them, I'm also sitting there eating them, and so I have to buy more than I know I'm going to need for the pie, because I know I'm going to eat half of them before they even make into the pie crust hahahahaha

I looked it up just now, and it says that temperatures below 28 will kill the tree. It rarely gets that cold here, but we get two or three nights a year in the 20s most years, but I could certainly give it a shot. It sounds like it doesn't get particularly huge, so maybe I could cover it with a big tarp if it's going to get below freezing. If it dies, well then I know it won't work out here, but there's a chance it might do fine here, and I think I'm willing to take the chance. They are really nice looking fruit, and I bet I could eat the heck out of those just standing outside by the tree haha
