There are 6 C. mas seedlings here in zone 5b, central Indiana. Lowest winter temps about -10. Last two years -8.  Had them about 5 years, they seem to be doing well, no major winter damage. We on the 1991 NAFEX / VIR exchange trip saw them growing wild in the Krasnodar region of Russia, near the black sea. That is I believe equivalent to zone 6-5. One Green World says hardy to zone 4.
