Hardiness Zones, Gardening Zones, Growing Zones and Plant Zones refer to defined geographic regions that can support specific plants, flowers and trees. The zones define a minimum range of temperatures that a plant or tree can survive safely in that zone. The most commonly used Hardiness Zones were defined by the USDA and contain data from the period 1960-1990. This updated version of the map was created by Plantmaps and includes climatology data through December 2009. This map also uses a wider range of climate data than the current USDA map, which limits the zones to 30 years of data.
