How can you assume that Kolomitka does best in shade without some kind of
controlled experiment?

An absolutely great point to raise.  However, in my case, I've tried 5
separate kolomikta plants over a few years.  Every one (4 of them) that was
exposed to the sun died.  One that I had forgotten I had was inadvertently
left in a pot surrounded by (and shaded by) blueberry plants.  I discovered
it a year later when is was starting to grow up through the blueberries and
it is still doing well in its shaded location.

How can you assume that Kolomitka does best in shade without some kind of
controlled experiment?  My cultivars were all the ones carried by Raintree
and they all grew with great vigor and bore well when not frozen out in full
sun in southeastern NY.  No scald or any issues whatsoever for the 8 years I
hosted them.  Maybe harsh wind  or some other factor I don't experience here
is the issue.

"Hardy how far north, do you know?"

I don't know. This was on the Truffle tree site.




The French black truffle (Tuber melanosporum), the truffle
species most widely and successfully cultivated, needs a
climate without extreme summer heat or extreme winter cold.
The truffles begin to form in the soil during the summer
when they are vulnerable to damage from high soil
temperatures and dry conditions. The truffles mature
between December and the end of February when they can be
damaged if the soil freezes around them.

These climatic requirements limit the areas where truffles
from southern Europe can be grown in North America to
southern parts of the Midwest, northern parts of the
Southeast, parts of the Mid Atlantic States and a long
strip along the West Coast in California, Oregon and
Washington. Other areas may be suitable, including parts of
Texas, Oklahoma, Idaho, and Southwest British Columbia. If
your area is not mentioned, but you feel that it has a
relatively mild climate, please contact us. We can look up
climate data from your region. In areas with marginally
acceptable climates measures can be taken to mitigate
microclimatic conditions, including mulching, increasing or
decreasing plantation density, choice of site aspect and
irrigation.







I do not know if these are the same inoculum that Sharon used.
Hardiness varies. May wish to speak directly with her.
