AUSTIN (KXAN) — As the United States continues to warm from heat-trapping greenhouse gas emissions, plants that would once thrive in a particular area and latitude are no longer surviving. Instead planting zones as a whole are shifting northward. This in return is forcing farmers and gardeners to adapt to their changing climate. The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map is the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which plants are most likely to thrive at a location. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), "hardiness zones are used to indicate where various permanent landscape plants can adapt. If you want a shrub, perennial, or tree to survive and grow year after year, the plant must tolerate year-round conditions in your area, such as the lowest and highest temperatures and the amount and distribution of rainfall."Their map is based on the average annual minimum winter temperature. It has a total of 26 zones that are each separated by temperature...Minnesota United dismisses report of club ‘blocking’ Emanuel Reynoso
