Qulin, MO 63961 Frost Dates
When can you plant in Qulin, MO?
Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 03/31, roughly 215 days out. The first fall frost typically arrives around 10/31, about 214 frost-free days later.
Qulin sits in USDA Zone 7b (5 to 10°F average annual minimum). The dates above are NOAA's 1991-2020 normal at the nearest reporting station, a 30-year average, not a forecast.
What to do before the first frost
About 9 weeks of growing season left in Qulin before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.
Why 03/31 isn't a guarantee
03/31 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 03/15 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/15 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
