It will definitely be more difficult, because these trees prefer cooler temperatures (their range is from Canada and all down the eastern seaboard of the US). If you prepare the soil so it is rich and well drained, you could try to grow them. Don't buy young saplings; get them at 4-5 feet already, so they'll be stronger.
