My comments were general, and meant to be general.  My work takes me all over 
the country, and maybe the one thing I actually think is  a fact, is things 
are regional.  

For the record they USDA says I am in zone 5a, they are incorrect.  The zones 
are based on averages, but my own records indicate I am in zone 4b when you 
compute the averages since I moved in - just barely.  What happens around 
here is every 5-7 years we have a cold blast where the ground freezes to 3 
1/2 to 4 feet and the wind chill hits the -40-50 for a couple of weeks.  If 
you grow for zone 5 you lose valuable plants.

Fortunately Al Gore tells me I am in for  awarming so I am waiting the day I 
can plant apricots and Grape Fruits.

Anyways...

fluffy - USDA 5a - reality says 4b.
