Hey all,

A while ago I wrote up a massive chart / guide in google sheets for all of the perennial plants I could think of that had a major human connection (food, medicine, fiber, ect). I organized based on their usda zones which aren't perfect but give a pretty good idea of what things can be grown where. As well as their layer in a food forest, so there's a different layer for underground rhizomes, a canopy layer, a groundcover layer, ect. It's shaping up to be a pretty good resource for people planning out a food forest

Anyway I've been updating it recently since it's starting to get cold outside and I can't work out there as much. Was wondering if people had suggestions for me to add.

Canada uses a different calculation all together, and their global map is just wrong for Canada since it’s using the US system.

The USDA uses a really simple system of just using the lowest temperature.

Canada using their own system

And using the USDA system
