ThinkDeep333 · Read the land · Plants & guilds Plants & guilds
A working list of plants for temperate systems, filtered by what you actually need them to do. Pick a tree and it will build the guild around it — who feeds it, who covers its ground, who keeps the pests confused.
This is the reading half. The map half, Land Assay , reads the real terrain, soil and climate of a boundary you draw and matches these plants to it. This page needs no server and works offline once loaded — nothing you do here is sent anywhere.
Zones are USDA hardiness. Treat every entry as a starting point, not an authority: local cultivars, rootstock and microclimate move these numbers. The 21 reference pages explain the method behind the choosing.
