I'm putting this in the front also. I think it will be fine during the winter and next Spring. I will have to worry about it during the heat of summer. Perhaps I can rig up a cover of some sort.
31 Aug - I managed to capture a little sprig growing off the side of the main trunk. I snipped it off so the nutrition could go t the main plant. I've put this into water - great if it shoots!
It's an ACER PALMATUM KATSURA variety.
