How Somerville Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 52172 in Waukon, Iowa (IA) is zone 5a with winter lows -20 to -15 F. The practical difference is Japanese maple suitability. Many Japanese maples are hardy only to zone 5b, so they barely survive that cold. In Somerville, Japanese maples like Viridis grow well with afternoon shade.

ZIP 83615 in Donnelly, Idaho (ID) is zone 5a with winter lows -20 to -15 F. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward cold-hardy trees that can handle extreme cold. Drought tolerance matters less there. In Somerville, drought tolerance is a bigger factor; Texas Ash and Bald Cypress handle dry periods.

ZIP 60006 in Arlington Heights, Illinois (IL) is zone 6a with winter lows -10 to -5 F. Locally, that points buyers toward trees that can cope with both cold and humidity. In Somerville, heat and humidity tolerance is essential; crape myrtles and cypress excel in those conditions.
