    Ive been looking all over the internet and I cant seem to find a chart
    to show anything besides USA zone charts

    Based on what others have said about nearby areas this might be zone 5

    But id like to know for sure

    Anyone have a clue as to what zone

    Toronto - Ontario - Canada

    Would be? The greater GTA area.

    Thank you, been looking for over an hour :/

    HERE says Zone 6. It's "USDA Hardiness Zone" you're looking for.

    Hmm when i clicked the dot representing toronto i got 6a
    and the names Toronto/Brampton where listed. Im looking for the 5b area
    because toronto is big and i live on the north east end
    Is it possible a large city can have more then 1 zone?

    The 2000 map graphic has Toronto as 6a, whereas the 1967 map has it near the transition between 6a & 6b. Depending on where in the GTA one lives, you could be dealing with anything between 5b & 6b with 5a in the more northern area of York Region. Most of the urban (not suburban) area will be 6a with some 6b in the downtown core, Toronto Islands, & points west along the water towards Mississauga & Oakville.

    Take your cues on what shrubs and trees will survive by visiting the Humber arboretum, Edward gardens, & Mount Pleasant cemetery.
