Description
Excerpt from Usda Plant Hardiness Zone Map
In using the map to select a suitable environment for a landscape plant, today''s gardeners should keep in mind the following: Stress Factors. We became aware of additional stresses to plants during the 1970''s. Acid rain, gaseous and particulate pollution, security lighting, and toxic wastes, among many other stress factors, have significantly increased the potential for unsatisfactory performance of landscape plants. We need to document the tolerances of plants to these factors.
New Plant Management Systems. New techniques of planting, transplanting, watering, fertilizing, and providing pest control measures have done much to increase the vigor of landscape plants. But used unwisely, these same measures can reduce plant hardiness.
