This resource includes detailed information on specific plant families and potential toxicities present. Each two page document lists plant information, toxicity for each part of the plant, signs of toxicity, and actions to take in the event of exposure. The toxicity of each plant, indicated by a color code system. A team of Cooperative Extension staff and faculty, Poison Control staff, Arizona Department of Health Services staff, and Master Gardeners have contributed to this project. Our goal is to provide educators with essential information on toxic plants that may be encountered in gardens. By familiarizing themselves with the identification, risks, and safe management of these plants, educators can ensure an enriching environment for everyone, while prioritizing safety and well-being.

Growing fruit trees in the low desert of Arizona can be done successfully if varieties with low chill hours are selected. What does the term ‘low chill hours' mean? Chill hours are the accumulation of hours between 32°F and 45°F in which deciduous trees are dormant. These hours can generally be counted between November 1st and February 15th. 1 Deciduous fruit trees must go through this period of low temperatures to break their winter dormancy. Fruit tree buds cannot come out of dormancy and break, or open, until the number of chill hours required for that specific variety have been accumulated. Chill hours accumulated in the northern and eastern United States are quite high and chill hours in southern and southwestern parts of the United States can be quite low. This is one important factor in selecting the right fruit tree variety for your area. In Southern Arizona, the average number of chill hours accumulated each winter season can be as few as 250 and as many as 400.
Common figs (Ficus carica) are a popular fruit for gardeners in Southern Arizona to grow. Figs require very little maintenance, thrive in warm and dry climates, and need less than 300 chill hours each season, fewer chill hours than many other trees. These characteristics make figs a great choice for the Southern Arizona home gardener.
