Florida elm zone?

[Kodama16]

hey guys. So flordia elms.... Can you keep them in North Carolina? I've been thinking bought getting one and I don't know how well they will do with cold. I would assume it need a green house or cold storage of some style.
Any one keep them that not in the Deep South?
Thanks!
