Yep I used to be zone 7 but now am zone 8a but then plant hardiness is still 7 so must be the difference between USDA map and plant one.

We're also 8a now on the USDA scale. I believe @Meyer Jordan is correct about zone revisions.

 

[Troutredds]

Perhaps the USDA mapping system reflects international data and scrutiny, while other sources lag behind or are otherwise independently reviewed...

I'll just leave it at 8b like it says for USDA map and forget the other 7 zone deal.

Looking at the maps Ian provided. I think I am 8b for USDA but why does it say below PlantMaps for our zip code is 7b?

On my map it says "Using the 1990 USDA Hardiness Zone classifications, this updated interactive version covers the state of Wisconsin and was compiled using National Weather Service climate data through 2009 and covering a broader time frame than the 30 year range used in the current USDA map."

Ok........... @JBtheExplorer

I'll just leave it at 8b like it says for USDA map and forget the other 7 zone deal.
