USDA Hardiness Planting Zones

To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.

  • If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15�F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will survive the winter temperatures in your area.
  • If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).

Zones 4-9 |

Desert Olive or New Mexico Privet (Forestiera neomexicana) is a deciduous, native shrub that can be grown into a dense hedge, or pruned to form a twisting, multi-stemmed small tree. Female plants produce considerable quantities of blue-black berries that are eaten by birds. The beautiful whitish bark accentuates the bright yellow fall foliage.
