Title: Potential Native Trees For Georgia Hardiness Zone 9a
Description: Over the last decade average annual minimum temperatures have changed significantly across the nation and within Georgia. Figure 1. Some hardiness zones have shifted more than five counties northward in Georgia. These climate shifts have impacted, and will impact, planted tree species survival and growth, the pantheon of pests potentially damaging these trees, and existing tree and pest species, as well as exacerbating some abiotic stress problems. Tree health can be affected in significant ways by large hardiness zone shifts. The current (January 2012) hardiness zone map added, essentially for the first time, hardiness zone 9a to Georgia.
