DESCRIPTIONS OF PLANTS 
We have tried to give a brief, factual 
description of each plant according to its 
performance in northeastern Ohio. Some 
variation can be expected in climates 
markedly different from ours; for example 
azaleas will grow better in New Jersey or 
Oregon but not nearly so well in the Great 
Plains. 
MATURITY SIZE: Immediately after the 
Latin name (in parentheses) a figure is 
given, such “4-6 ft.”. This means that 
plant will attain a height from 4 to 6 ft. 
during ten to thirty years in average Ohio 
conditions. Climate, soil, pruning and 
other factors may cause differences. 
HARDINESS: Following maturity size 
is the hardiness zone, based on minimum 
winter temperatures the plant will normal- 
ly withstand. Moisture, wind, soil, and 
other factures are as important as tempera- 
ture, but these zones will serve as a guide: 
Zone I 50 below 0 F or colder 
Zone II 50 below to 35 below 
Zone III 35 below to 20 below 
ZoneIV 20 below to 10 below 
Zone V 10 below to 5 below 
Zone VI 5 below to 5 above 
Our nursery is in Zone V.
