Arizona is a tough nut when it comes to weather. If you live there or are thinking about moving there and need to landscape, you want to be sure to have the right look for your yard so it survives all year round and doesn't use up a ton of water. You should be aware that the US is divided into zones for planting, whether it's a veggie garden or plants or trees. Arizona, specifically Phoenix, is listed as a 9b, 10a zone for hardiness. What does this mean? It means you are dealing with warmer temperatures for your plants and gardens. I've researched and found some great plants (not just cactus!) and trees to add to your Arizona yard that can survive all year round. Let's go!

I lived in Arizona for 3-1/2 years and it was such a blast. I was in my early 20's, became super involved with other young adults my age, went on lots of outdoor adventures and learned a lot about myself while making new friends. Despite the fun times, it definitely didn't start out fun or easy.
