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.
