Take ZIP 95460 in Mendocino, California (CA), zone 10a. Winter lows there rarely drop below 30 degrees F, so drought tolerance drives the tree choice, oaks and redbuds that handle dry summers.

Locally, that points buyers toward cold-hardy species like Bur Oak and Eastern Redcedar.

Now look at ZIP 80642 in Hudson, Colorado (CO), zone 5b with lows of -15 to -10 F. That extreme cold kills many zone 8 favorites like crape myrtles and redbuds. Heat and humidity tolerance is irrelevant there; survival is the priority.

Finally, ZIP 06703 in Waterbury, Connecticut (CT), zone 6b, lows -5 to 0 F. Cold-hardiness matters there, but summers are cooler and less humid than Peterman's.
