would it be a good idea to grow plant in an inland area such as carlow as i am considering growing it as part of hedge in direct sunlight in an unshelterd spot as im worried it might night survive the cold winters we get they can get as low as -7 degrees.Possibly i could have it grown inside in a pot for the first few months from November till Febuary inside my open shed(it has three walls so it can light during the day and still survive the first winter of frost).So is there a point to planting this in Carlow as can it survive winter frosts after its first year?
