New hardiness maps are out
Kevin D. Preuss (Mon, 02 Jun 2003 04:34:01 PDT)

I got the map but I do not think that there was a real need to re-do the
zones. Now all the texts w/ the old data are no longer valid... They are
saying that most of Florida is zone 9. Our new property gets nightly temps
down below freezing in the winters and often down into the low 20's on many
nights. Tha's no zone 9, infact the old zone gave it Zone 8a.

Oh well,
Kevin Preuss
USDA zone 9

released the new zones and here

I lists Ohio as all zone 6.

Looking over the CA section, I noticed that there is a
large z10 area on the border of CA and AZ and at the
foot of the hills just east of San Diego. I never
would have thought them as z10 (but then again, I have
only been through there once.
