I didnt think they were that delicate either but thats just based on some quick googglefu. They do list them as very temperature hardy and drought tolerant.
Got it at Countryside in DeWinton. It was about 5 feet tall when we planted it the week after May Long weekend and it’s just reached 6’. The lighter green is all new growth so it’s gotten quite a bit wider as well.

I think that they’d be delicate to dig up and transport as large caliber trees but yeah, once established are supposed to be pretty hardy. I have heard they can be intolerant to pollution though.

Spoiler!


Added a dog for scale.
