How Russell County Compares to Other Areas

Russell County, Alabama (AL) sits in zone 8b (lows 15 to 20 F). Compare that to three other parts of the country to see how your tree choices differ.

Orleans County, Vermont (VT), zone 4a to 4b | lows -30 to -20 F. Locally, that points buyers toward evergreens and cold-hardy maples. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward broadleaf evergreens and heat-tolerant shade trees, not northern conifers.

Fall River County, South Dakota (SD), zone 4b to 5a | lows -25 to -15 F. The practical difference is that you can grow sweet cherries and flowering redbuds without worrying about winterkill. In South Dakota, only the toughest fruiting shrubs would survive.

Indiana County, Pennsylvania (PA), zone 6a to 6b | lows -10 to 0 F. Locally, that points buyers toward trees that tolerate dry summers and humidity. Indiana County gets more moisture but colder winters; you get a longer frost-free season and can plant palms and tropical accents.
