I can't speak to the whole range, but there was a huge English walnut 
(perhaps not Carpathian) in the yard of the place where Dad used to moor his 
boat somewhere near Chestertown, on the Eastern shore of Maryland.  Sea 
level--plenty humid.  Warm, too, although perhaps not as warm as NC.  If you 
can find a copy of J. Russell Smith's Tree Fruits he has a chapter on English 
walnut & talks about where he knew of trees growing well.  Muffy Barrett

Where do Carpathian walnuts do well on the east coast? I always though 
it was too warm, too much disease here in 7a NC.

Will they thrive in the Appalachians in zone 6?
