I sell plants for a nursery in northern San Diego County, California specializing in drought tolerant plants. Much of my business comes from the Coachella Valley, California where temperatures get up to 125° and beyond, according to my customers. In order to vet the right plants for them, its difficult for me to find resources detailing the extreme high temperatures a given plant will I tolerate. As we know, minimum temperatures are noted in degrees but on the upper end instead of a temperature, it's phrases like "takes full sun", "hardy to 25°", etc. which seem to be the norm.
Would you have any suggestions regarding websources or books? Better yet, does your database do this already and the few cacti I looked up are anomalies, in this regard. I'm new to the site so it could be that it's on there but that I just couldn't locate.
Meanwhile I'll keep looking on your site for these and other wonders. First heard about about y'all from the good folks over at thehorticult.com, who recently visited our nursery. Became terminally hooked on ATP last night on the wayhome from Coachella, finding podcasts on Stitcher after an inspiring week of plants and hiking.
And thanks to all the administrators!!
