Have yet to have eaten a homegrown Stanley but they are apparently delicious. Some have reported that they make good wine, too. Although some say Stanley is a zone 5 tree, given that they have survived some of our wicked early fall frosts out at our nursery (-10 on 10-26/20), I’d say it is likely a zone 4 in our experience. Other sources say it can survive down to -30 in the winter which would put it right at zone 4. I’d say zone 5 for now and in protected zone 4 sites. Protected in this case means out of frost pockets and out of serious winds. Preferably with structures/pavement, etc. around. Plant with Italian, Native American, or President for pollination.

Trees are 5-7 ft. tall and grafted onto Lovell semi-dwarf rootstock.
