Keith,

That's what my dad planted, the Carpathian cultivar and they've done very well. I suppose since the time he planted there've been some -10 to -15 degree temps but that kind of cold around here is rare and usually doesn't last but a few days.

At one time he'd battle the squirrels over the nuts but at his age (92) he doesn't give a s*&t any longer how many nuts the squirrels get.
