According to Jerry Good-speeUtah State University Extension horticultural!!. these zones run in increments of 3 to 10 degrees. Zone 10, for example, has minimum low temperatures from 40 to 30 degrees. T hese areas are fitund in southern I londa. California and Texas. Most of Northern Utah is in Zone 3, which has a minimum low temperature of 3 to 10 degrees. Plants are given a hardiness rating based on these zones, Goodspeed says. This helps when selecting unfamiliar plants for the landscape. As a general rule, any plant that grows in zone 3 or lower numbered zone, w ill survive in our location. Plants rated for zone 6 and higher, either struggle or flat out dic. I le cautions that this is only a general rule, because many plants rated for Zone 6 and even a few 7s, can survive in our climate. d, ru. ccrA3 and faa Sna as Production WaroTir Sd Swiun. n the Dj.ts H gfi School producton ol The Panama Game.

Aging landscape needs sprucing up like most of us tend to the boundaries of high school clothes, landscaping also lends to outgrow us petite younger years. Some plants grow larger than Just expected, others die, and 10 years later, it may be as unrecognizable as your graduation picture. A makeover or may be in order, says Jerry Goodspccd. Utah Slate University Extension "Too often we assume that trees, shrubs and perennials will live forever. It's a false notion that once they are planted and established, we can leave them alone, Goodspeed says. "Usually during the first of a landscapes life, plants grow and fill in their designated area. he says. From years 5 to 10, it looks great. From 10 years on, though, many plants start to outgrow their area and begin to look five-year- s cluttered, overgrown messy. and Eventually parts of your landscape will need to be replaced, Goodspeed says. The most common problem with older landscapes is crowding. When the plants were first brought home in gallon containers they looked so small next to the house. So, in many cases, the plants were placed too close together to make the landscape look full quickly. As the years pass, however, they have grown and matured. Eventually, they crowd each other, the house, the lawn, and start infringing on the local forest. "The advantage in is that the whole land-- , scape usually doesnt need to be replaced. Sometimes the land- scape isnt crowded, it just needs some Plants may have died, trees have turned sunny areas into deep shade, Goodspeed says. ; Start by identifying the plants dipt have reached a desirable size, or are just starting to mature and look acceptable, he suggests. These plants can become the focal point of the landscape, and the large overgrown plants can slowly be fine-tunin- g. From there, develop a plan that slowly weeds out the older, unsightly plants and replace them with new ones. ever, growing plants that are borderline hardy for our area can be risky, he says. An extremely cold winter can damage or destroy these landscape plants. The w inter of90-9- l had lemper- I low Id 9 Jans Country floral kml pji & Walloon Decor Clinton, Utah 1593 N. 1000 W. !
