Frequently Asked Questions

Zone 8 supports a large selection of trees, including live oaks, flowering redbuds, and cold-hardy avocados. In Macon County's zone 8b, typical winter lows range from 15 to 20 F, which also allows Leyland Cypress for privacy and sago palm for tropical accents.

How Macon County Compares to Other Areas
Washington County, Vermont (VT) sits in zone 4b to 5a, with winter lows of -25 to -15 F. That gap changes the local shortlist to cold-hardy species only. Japanese maples are risky there, but in Macon County's mild zone 8b they thrive without winter concerns.
Millard County, Utah (UT) is zone 5b to 6b, with lows down to -15 F. For your cart, that means fast-growing privacy evergreens like Leyland Cypress are not reliable in that dry, cold climate. In Macon County's warmer zone 8b, Leyland Cypress grows quickly and makes an excellent screen.
Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin (WI) has zone 5a to 5b and winter lows of -20 to -10 F. In practice, buyers there lean toward late-blooming shrubs because spring is short. In Macon County, the long growing season supports early-blooming redbuds and crape myrtles for extended flowering color.
What does this mean for you? Macon County's mild winters give you a much wider palette of trees, from subtropical fruits to tender ornamentals, so you can choose based on your yard goals rather than survival.
