How true about locating it carefully. My tree -- which also has survived 
below minus 20 degrees -- is located near where I turn around in my driveway. 
There are always some broken branches where my truck has brushed against the 
tree. 

The tree is beautiful in flower, which it's doing right now here in New 
York's Hudson Valley, Zone 4-5. The nuts look like macadamias and are edible 
but not very good-tasting.
