I got my info from this site: BC Plant Hardiness Map | West Coast Gardens
The confusion stems probably from the proximity to the Fraser (8b) and away from it as well as higher
up, like in the hills near Mission. Add to that the factor of safety (they do not want to be responsible
if your banana freezes  ) and you get different interpretations. I have the same problem. I am in the
bottom of the valley, near Skaha Lake and figure on HZ6, but only 2 or 3 km to the east or 4 to 6 km
to the west you could have HZ3 or 4.
