The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Gassville in Zone 7b (5 to 10°F average annual minimum); frost dates are NOAA's 1991-2020 station normal, not this year's forecast.

Why 04/02 isn't a guarantee
04/02 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 03/14 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/19 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
