growing zone
Climate gardening area
A growing zone is a geographic region classified by climate conditions—especially minimum winter temperatures—that determine which plants can survive there.
Gardeners use growing zones to select appropriate species: Check your growing zone before planting citrus trees.
The USDA Hardiness Zone system, ranging from 1 (coldest) to 13 (warmest), is the standard reference in North America.
