Re: [GWL]: AHS Heat Zone Map


 "It will be a long time until wholesale
propagators list the heat zones on plant tags."

 Monrovia Nurseries has been using the heat zone info for 
about 3 years on their "Info book tag" that is produced 
for them by Horticultural Printers in Dallas. As a 
copywriter for them, I also know that virtually no-one 
else is using the system. I think it's mainly of concern 
in southern area, where high heat is a factor. It 
certainly would be useful to everyone if everyone knew 
about it and used it.
