| Abstract | (unpublished)
This plant hardiness zones map shows the different zones in Canada where various types of trees, shrubs and flowers will most likely survive. The map is based on a formula using
seven important variables that influence plant survival: 1. Monthly mean of the daily minimum temperatures of the coldest month 2. Mean frost-free period (above 0°C) in days 3. Amount of rainfall from June to November 4. Monthly mean of the daily
maximum temperatures of the warmest month 5. A winter harshness index related to rainfall in January 6. Mean maximum snow depth 7. Maximum wind gust in 30 year period The original map was developed by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada in the early
1960s based on average values from 1930 to 1960. This new map uses 1981 to 2010 averages. To view an interactive version of this map and for more information on plant hardiness zones in Canada, please go to the following Web site:
