Naples, TX 75568 Frost Dates
When can you plant in Naples, TX?
Around 03/04 is the usual last spring frost, about 188 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 11/21, about 261 frost-free days later.
Naples sits in USDA Zone 8b (15 to 20°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

Why 03/04 isn't a guarantee
03/04 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 02/13 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 03/24 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
