Hardiness Zones Picea pungens 'Walnut Glen' One of the biggest problems any gardener has is in choosing the right plant for the correct Hardiness Zone. Make sure you know what Hardiness Zone your plant will live in comfortably. The Hardiness Zone should be listed with the description and cultural care guidelines prior to any purchase. If it isn't, don't buy the plant. And if the nursery can't guarantee that the plant is suited for this area (Zone 6) or colder (Zones 5-1), leave immediately and buy from someone who knows what they're doing! To alleviate some of the confusion, eliminate the needless killing of plants and especially the wasting of your hard-earned money, use the Hardiness Map below, call or email us at Blue Sterling Nursery and we'll help you select the correct plant(s) for your area. Both the USDA and Rutgers University have issued their own respective Plant Hardiness Zone Maps. The USDA Map is shown below; Rutgers' Map will be added as soon as the latest version is available. Zones Zone 1 (below -50 degrees F) Zone 2 (-50 to -40 degrees F) Zone 3 (-40 to -30 degrees F) Zone 4 (-30 to -20 degrees F) Zone 5 (-20 to -10 degrees F) Zone 6 (-10 to 0 degrees F) Zone 7 (0 to 10 degrees F) Zone 8 (10 to 20 degrees F) Zone 9 (20 to 30 degrees F) Zone 10 (30 to 40 degrees F) Please prune the dwarf Blue Spruce to return to the top. ©1997-2004 Blue Sterling Nursery All rights reserved. 372 Seeley-Cohansey Rd Bridgeton, NJ 08302 856.451.2259   1-800-5-CONIFER   fax: 856.451.2442
