walnuts ... do grow in warm climates ... California and Arizona
(and) Iran
I wasn't sure. Some nuts like it cold.
But not too cold! Where I grew up in the Ottawa Valley, forests were
mixed evergreen conifers and deciduous soft woods like birch and
popular with a sprinkling of hardwoods including sugar maples. We
had wild black oak trees and one large old hickory tree on our 50
acre lot but Persian walnut (and pecan) saplings from the nursery
always died after a few years whenever we had a more severe than
average winter. Cobden sits at latitude 45 degrees 38 minutes; about
30 miles further north there are no hardwoods of any kind where the
eastern woodlands that you are familiar with ends and the northern
Taiga begins.
