It should be fine. The bigger they are [any tree] the harder they are to establish because of that size. They're lovely small trees, and always worthwhile in a garden

It depends on the stage it's at as to whether it would be affected by frost though. I've had them in almost every garden I've had. They've never been affected by frosts, even proper ones [well below minus five] probably because our trees are later to start into growth, although our frosts can continue until later too. We normally have upwards of 50 or 60 frosts every year, starting from October. If they're properly established, they adapt and cope with all weather though

We have to remember that frost and cold can be as desiccating to tender leaves and petals as strong sunshine. If the tree is parched both will cause the tender growth to die.

I still think it's dry more than anything else. As @Dovefromabove says, that's always going to cause a problem because the top foliage can't be supported well enough, and it makes it more vulnerable to any changes in weather - whether sunny, windy, cold or a mixture of them all. It'll recover, and with the right care, it'll thrive no problem

If you can reach some of the upper growth. On a small area gently scrape the top bark, if it's green underneath then it's still alive, and should recover with the tlc described already.
