Expert Response
You probably cannot find it as it is listed as a Zone 5 tree and reputable nurseries/garden centers do not carry trees listed as out of their zone. I have worked for garden centers for 12 years and we have never carried that tree. Here is the information from Ohio State: http://hvp.osu.edu/pocketgardener/source/description/fa_atica.html
I've purchased this in MN. I sold the house this tree is at. It is a zone 4.
Sorry.
Sorry.
I am sorry but I do not know where the tree you had was purchased. I cannot find any sources in Minnesota.
