Abstract/Contents: | The United States Department of agriculture announced in early March that it has updated the zone hardiness map for the first time since 1965. With the additional data, small areas of microclimates are indicated for the first time. "There are no signs of changes that might represent global warming,"said H. Marc Cathey, director of the National Arboretum in Washington D.C. Doug Chapman, Horticulturist Administrator at Dow Gardens in Midland said, "...The cold temperatures are moving southward throughout the midwest. The southeast lows are lower in the last 15 years than the old hardiness maps indicate." He went on to say that the new data will not change how Dow conducts their gardens. |
