Title: Message
I'd be cautious about taking anything from the National Arbor Day Foundation at face value.  Reason is, on their ads soliciting memberships they offer a thank-you gift of 10 different species of trees.  Included among these are flowering dogwood, willow oak and golden raintree, off of which are definitely not cold hardy here in Minneapolis-St. Paul.  When I suggested that they instead consider offering at least a warm-, moderate- and cold-climate combination, depending on the location of the donor, I was told the combination they sent to all donors was just fine, thank you very much. -- Sam Brungardt, St. Paul, Minn.  (USDA Hardiness Zone 4b)

I don't recall seeing this on the list, but the Arbor Day folks released an update to the Hardiness Zone maps for 2004.  Very interesting.  I've been zone 5 since I can remember, now it looks like I am zone 6...
