I'm probably not hardy enough to grow heartnuts & I have a lot
buartnuts (heartnut x butternut) going & I absolutely love the trees &
the nuts.  I would recommend growing selected cultivars over seedling
trees, as there is huge variation in seedling buartnuts.  Not sure if
that is also the case with heartnuts since they are not a cross but I
imagine there are some cultivars that would crack out a lot easier.
