How Florence Compares to Other Areas
ZIP 68034 in Kennard, Nebraska is in zone 6a with winter lows -10 to -5 F. That colder winter can damage many Japanese maples unless they are very cold-hardy. For your cart, that means Florence's zone 7b is warmer, allowing you to plant Japanese maples like Viridis Laceleaf without worrying about winterkill. In Kennard, buyers often skip Japanese maples altogether, but here they are a reliable accent.
ZIP 58250 in Lankin, North Dakota sits in zone 4a, with winter lows -30 to -25 F. Such severe cold kills most flowering trees like crape myrtles and redbuds. That gap changes the local shortlist to only the hardiest varieties. In Florence, you can enjoy Dynamite and Natchez Crape Myrtles with their long season of color.
ZIP 03229 in Contoocook, New Hampshire is in zone 5b, with winter lows -15 to -10 F. While cold-hardy evergreens survive, they grow slower. In practice, buyers here lean toward slower-growing arborvitae. In Florence, the warmer zone allows fast-growing privacy screens like Nellie Stevens Holly to fill in quickly.
These contrasts show that Florence's mild winters let you choose from a broader palette of trees.
