Re: [nafex] walnut hybrid - Carpathian walnut range

I can't speak to the whole range, but there was a huge English walnut (perhaps not Carpathian) in the yard of the place where Dad used to moor his boat somewhere near Chestertown, on the Eastern shore of Maryland. Sea level--plenty humid. Warm, too, although perhaps not as warm as NC. If you can find a copy of J. Russell Smith's Tree Fruits he has a chapter on English walnut & talks about where he knew of trees growing well. Muffy Barrett

Where do Carpathian walnuts do well on the east coast? I always though
it was too warm, too much disease here in 7a NC.

Will they thrive in the Appalachians in zone 6?
