My original planting of 27 trees included 3 each of 9 different cultivars. There are only two that I have not yet gotten fruit from, one being Miho. I got them from Stan. The Mihos seem to have suffered the most damage from winter/late freezes. I was wondering if anyone here has much experience with this cultivar, and is it worth trying to grow in my zone.

I am in my second year growing a Miho (planted Feb 2018) on the 8b/9a line in western Louisiana, last year I only had 3 fruit off of it, but they were very good, which is surprising to me from a young Satsuma. I have 5 other Satsuma trees, 3 of which are over 20 years old, and the Miho tastes as good or better than the best fruit from the mature trees. As to your region, I can't help.
p.s. mine are grafted onto Kuharski root stock and came from Saxon Becnel, part of their initial test planting of Mihos from 2016

One of mine had a few fruits last year, but they were large and puffy, with dry segments and no flavor.

I've had great fruit from mine & I also got the budwood from Stan years ago.
