Don't quote me on this, and I don't have any personal experience, but I think I remember reading that at least some form(s) of M. yunnanensis is/are understory plants in the wild....or maybe it was M. itinerans, or both.....but I believe they are both reasonably cold tolerant....I know Cincinnana has been growing M. itinerans? (Mekong giant.....?) in zone 5, I believe, in-ground outdoors for several years.....anyway, maybe its an avenue to explore.
