How Stephens Compares to Other Areas

In ZIP 05656 in Johnson, Vermont (zone 5a), winter lows hit -20 to -15 F. Such cold makes Japanese maples risky without heavy protection. For your cart, that means you can confidently choose Japanese maples like Sangokaku and Orangeola for your Stephens yard, while Johnson homeowners must select much hardier species.

ZIP 84112 in Salt Lake City, Utah sits in zone 7a with lows of 0 to 5 F. The colder winters there limit flowering options to very hardy varieties like crabapples.
