Well, I have some suggestions to try. That Lomatia myricoides does so well, even in the most exposed spots and considering this winter was a zone 8a here, I'd say it's worth testing in 8a, 7b with protection. I'm impressed by this ones hardiness/toughnees and see it worth trying. I actually noticed it's in a 1gal, not a 5. The other one in this pic is Myrsine africana http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/77520/index.html and it seems completely oblivious to the winter for many years in a container. I'd say the same about it. Worthy of a good test by the adventurous in 8a, 7b. We may not have that cold of a winter but we don't have that hot of a summer. Things like Albizia barely grow.

ps. Isn't Stachyurus hardy in lower zones?
