Wow, that Chinese Wingnut is cool, never seen or heard of it before.

I looked up some info.

grows really fast and gets HUGE.

some info says zone 7, some says zone 6.

Where can I get one? or, could you mail me some of the nuts so I can germinate?

I want one!

seems very different.

I have seen these trees used as parking lot trees in virginia and pennsylvania

Pterocarya doesn't seem like an appropriate tree for these areas, not with the type of roots it has.

It is non native and not known to me to be invasive.

Time will tell, but again it doesn't seem like a good choice.
It has a heavy seed set...
All in all, I'm not sold on it.

X I'd gladly send you some seed. PM me your info. As far as the tree goes, I saw some in a hotel parking lot in Virginia and a fast food place in Penn. It doesn't exactly have strong wood, but it is very tough. This thing is in a parking lot island on campus, has had several years of drought and was accidentally root pruned by one of my employees with a bed edger two years ago. I thought it was done for. Tons of dieback. I pruned it out and it came back vigorously. I'm not sold on it as a street tree either. As you say Dianne time will tell on the virtues and pitfalls of this tree.we have had it for about ten years and I have found no volunteers, it does have a very heavy seed set and could be a problem if they were to germinate freely.
 
X, I was going to guess Celtis levaegis as a third LOL! Sometimes referred to as hackberry, but a different tree.

Anyway, I think Matty D is right with his last guess.
