Interesting but perhaps marginally useful, at least here in our Z8 and the other warmer zones. With our summer lows hovering around 80F, and high humidity, there's a significant contingent of Z8 plants that won't grow here. Very little from mediterranean climates, and particularly the cape floristic region, can tolerate our conditions. I tried the program and it simply spits out one zone number. Having tried (and failed) with so many marginal species here, I'd be reluctant to direct any novice to that site for an answer. And any expert would probably already know the answers by experience or reading. If they combined the data with AHS heat zone data, then they might have something useful. That map places Austin and Seattle in very different zones, compared to USDA which puts us in the same zone.

Hi,
Someone wrote to me
"I have developed a database containing 30.000 species including their
hardiness data which will simply be mapped and compared to the hardiness
zone the user of this software is at and instantly provide results."

There is a commercial aspect to this since he is a seed vendor.
