(There have even been successful trials of it surviving in sheltered Zone 4 situations.)
The tree blooms later than most other stone fruits, helping to ensure the blossoms are not damaged by late spring frosts. Kernels are thick but easy to crack into and it also has very high disease resistance to common fungal and bacterial issues that other stone fruits can suffer from.
