How Denver County Compares to Other Areas

In Klickitat County, Washington (WA), winter lows stay between 0 and 15 degrees, zones 7a to 8a. That warmer climate opens the door to Japanese maples and other semi-tender ornamentals. For your cart, that means Denver County's colder winter nights restrict those options. Stick with zone 6 hardier picks like redbuds and oaks.

Uvalde County, Texas (TX) rarely sees lows below 15 degrees, living in zones 8b to 9a. That mild climate supports nearly year-round flowering trees like crape myrtles and chitalpas. That gap changes the local shortlist to earlier bloomers in Denver County. The Hearts A'fire Redbud is a reliable spring color choice for our shorter growing season.

Walworth County, South Dakota (SD) endures winter lows of -25 to -20 degrees in zone 4b. That extreme cold limits many evergreens and broadleaf trees.
