Koosharem, UT 84732 Frost Dates

When can you plant in Koosharem, UT?

Zone 5b

Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 06/06, roughly 282 days out. The first fall frost typically arrives around 09/21, about 104 frost-free days later.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Koosharem in Zone 5b (-15 to -10°F average annual minimum); frost dates are NOAA's 1991-2020 station normal, not this year's forecast.

What to do before the first frost

About 3 weeks of growing season left in Koosharem before the first fall frost — a cold frame or row cover can stretch harvest weeks past that date.

Why 06/06 isn't a guarantee

06/06 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 05/24 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 06/26 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
