<\/a>U.S. Department of Agriculture Hardiness Zone Map<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, \u201cUSDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map is the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which plants are most likely to thrive at a location.\u201d This map is based on the average minimum temperature that occurs during the winter, per year, over the past 30 years. It is important to understand that these values are not derived from the lowest temperature that has ever occurred, but rather, the average annual radical minimum temperature during a past 30-year period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can visit the USDA plant hardiness webpage<\/a> to learn your area\u2019s specific plant hardiness zone by simply entering in your zip code. You can also view a 2012 USDA Hardiness Zone Map of Indiana on their interactive map page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The USDA Hardiness Zones for Indiana are 5 and 6, specifically 5b, and 6a, and 6b. Common trees that are hardy to these zones include various species of Ash, Cedar, Pine, Hemlock, Elder, Birch, Beech, Cherry, Walnut, Chestnut, Buckeye, Hickory, Locust, Magnolia, Maple, Oak, Poplar, Sweetgum, Sycamore, Willow, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take the Red Maple, for instance. Red Maple trees are good fits for almost any type of property. Even better, they grow in a pageant of colors, with something always red in every season. Winter red buds, red springtime flowers, deep red summer leafstalks, and brilliant red hues in autumn foliage are just a preview of the beauty this tree has to offer. It grows fast and well in hardiness zones 3 through 9, averaging heights between 40 and 60 feet, and widths up to 40 feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map is a terrific resource to use for planting new trees and shrubs, however, there are several other factors to consider that influence the behavior and growth rate of your plants. Hardiness zone adherence is not enough to sustain thriving, long-lasting, fully-performing trees and shrubs. Additional gardening factors that must be considered include soil conditions, sunlight, water, fertilizer, mulching, cold exposure, heat exposure, humidity, environmental modifications, and pest management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Call 317-537-9770<\/strong> for professional and affordable Fishers tree service to keep your trees healthy all season long.
