0000 - Cold Hardiness Observation Master Data

There's enough data to begin working on some rudimentary analytics.  This post is the first set of analytics showing the number of observations for each species/variety with the number of deaths and survival reports, along with the lowest temperature survived and the highest temperature that caused death, where applicable.  Keep in mind that the data hasn't been modified to allow analytics as far as observations where protection was provided, and doing individual climate types at this point is somewhat manual.

Either way, hope this helps.

    Hey, this will be nice for getting a quick idea on survivability and for the small stuff, what should just get stuffed in the garage. Thanks @kinzyjr

    This winter I'll send you my observations too, since I now have palms in the ground. I expect some to not make it so I'll have some info to share. Of course a very important parameter is the wetness of the climate and the soil, as well as the frost, but at least we have an idea of the temperatures.

    Zone 9b: if you love it, cover it.
