A very good rule of thumb for tender plants in any cooler zone is
- Maples in full leaf
- Oak leaves the size of mouse ears
Nature messes up every few decades, but these indicators are very accurate
factoring in local conditions. When the above happens, no more frosts.

dropping. I'll have to check the neighbors oak on my walk tomorrow. ~ jan
