Hmm. My first guess would have been "No way". Having spent time in the Pacific Northwest where they do well, I'm sure that trying to grow one here would be a huge challenge. However, I ran into some threads with people that apparently have grown them:

so I suppose it might be possible.
Personally, I would love to grow one, but I doubt it's worth my effort.

that's what i thought, thanks
