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.
