I am in 8b and we do get some colder weather than you do. I planted it with some potting soil into a thin sandy clay soil that once had a pile of uprooted pine trees push over on to it. I gave it some inorganic phosphate, nitrate, and potassium containing inorganic fertilizer this year. The blue berries next to it are happy as are some black berry bushes. The bush's tallest two branches are 7 ft plus high now.
The only thing I can think of is to check and see if your zone is good for it. I purchased my bush from just fruits and exotics about 2.5 years ago.
I think I will try and start some more of these bushes. I just went out and picked a few more ripe ones and consumed them.
