Tolerances

Properties	Values	Descriptions
shade tolerance	permanent deep shade permanent shade partial shade light shade no shade
salt tolerance	salt-tolerant moderately salt-tolerant slightly-salt tolerant not salt-tolerant	Highly resistant to salt drift and can be used in exposed environment. Tolerates some salt spray, but grow best when protected from it. Should be protected from any spray.
flood tolerance	flood-tolerant moderately flood-tolerant not flood-tolerant	Survives high water table and flooded conditions for days to weeks. Survives several days of excessively wet or flooded soil conditions. Not tolerant of wet or flooded soil.
drought tolerance	drought-tolerant moderately drought-tolerant not drought-tolerant	Tolerates lack of water for a few days to several weeks. Can withstand several days of drought with some stress effects. May survive a few days of drought, but with severe damage.
humidity tolerance	humidity-tolerant moderately humidity-tolerant not humidity-tolerant	Can achieve normal growth in humidity greater than 70%. Tolerates high humidity, but will decrease reproduction. Cannot with stand high-humidity conditions and will incur damage.
wind tolerance	very wind tolerant moderately wind tolerant somewhat wind-tolerant not wind-tolerant	Can survive winds from 110-130 mph Can survive winds from 75-110mph Can survive winds from 55-75mph Can survive winds less than 55mph
soil-drainage tolerance	poor-drainage tolerant somewhat-poor-drainage tolerant moderate-drainage tolerant well-drained tolerant excessively-drained tolerant	Wet to shallow depths most of the time. Periodic wetness at shallow depths due to seasonable weather or water conditions. Soil is wet in root zone for short period of the year. Adequate water movement; root growth not restricted due to wetness. Soil doesn't retain adequate water for most plant growth following precipitation.
fire tolerance	resistant to fire not resistant to fire accelerates fire
minimum temperature tolerance	[user specified]
heat tolerance		number of days in a year a plant can survive 86 degree F heat or higher
