Greetings,
I've only been scanning this thread so I apologize if this material has been
mentioned already. But for those who can use the info in one place:
The AHS Plant Heat-Zone Map was introduced and explained in the Sept/Oct
issue of 'The American Gardener', the publication of the American
Horticultural Society.
Dr. H. Marc Cathey, former head of the society developed the map, and also
has written a book which maybe useful for some. This is ' Heat Zone
Gardening: How to Choose Plants that Thrive in your Regions Warmest Weather."
This book is available from your local bookseller or the usual on-line
places.
For further information on the map and how it works, and information about
how to purchase or arrange to download one, visit the AHS page explaining
same:
