Tree growth of shade trees in May will stop altogether in extremely cold climates, but in the spring, will surge with buds that open blossoms and leaves.
Super difficulties arise in the allocation of a plant, 'perennial', mainly because the first factor determination, temperature range varies from year to year, and each century of extreme cold temperatures may erase some populations plants that have survived in the area for decades or even centuries. A Perennial Plant may be a survivor, so a "perennial" to a given area growing, then suddenly disappeared in May in the production area. The USDA has constructed a zone map that shows the average temperatures reached the situation in your country. This map is a tool used to predict whether a nursery perennial will live (cold hardy) in your area.
