Zone is not set
A hardiness zone is a geographic area defined by average annual minimum winter temperatures, helping gardeners determine which plants can survive in their region. Developed by the USDA, the 13 numerical zones indicate cold hardiness—for example, a plant "hardy to zone 10" tolerates minimum temperatures of 30 to 40 °F (−1.1 to 4.4 °C).

Chill hours are the number of hours below 40°F in the winter. A lack of chill hours is generally only a problem for very warm areas, such as Florida.
