After I  posted this I searched the internet and other than the thick light 
fibrous  husk the nut shows no sign of Carpathian traits.There are other 
trees in the  area I planted the hybrid seedlings so I'll start checking the 
nuts from  them.
Hi Keith,
 
I have a Ken Dooley black x carpathian hybrid here grafted to three  
understocks. They are about 25 feet high. All 3 are very shy bearers like  
maybe 
only 10 nuts in three years on three trees. This year found only one. They  
look like your pictured husk and larger than a baseball, almost soft ball  
size. Took a picture of this years single nut along side an average  BK.  
Thought I had pictures of one 2 years ago, but can't find it.
