Yes, you can plant in 5A in November as long as the tree is dormant and the ground is not frozen. You also have to water the tree when planting so the roots take hold. Good luck.

This tree seems to grow alot slower than my others. I also grow yellow delicious, empire, johnathon and honey crisp. At the rate it's growing I don't expect to get any amount of apples for another 4 years. I planted this tree 2 years ago and it won't produce it's first apple until next year, if I even choose to allow that to happen. I want the tree to grow to a decent size before producing fruit.

However, I did have a major problem this spring when the tree began leaning, and eventually the leader and all limbs bent towards the ground - like a weeping willow - all at deer munching height. I have never seen anything like it. I saved the tree by tying it up with bamboo canes and jute twine (to great embarassment as it is growing in my front lawn). The tree eventually recovered its strength and I removed the scaffolding.
Other than that, I have had no major problems. But think twice before planting it in a public location, as like all apple trees it requires constant care, including limb spacers and twin to train the young limbs into a correct growing pattern. Lesson learned.
