How Union County Compares to Other Areas

Cass County, Iowa (IA) sits in zone 5a to 5b with winter lows from -20 to -10 F. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward cold-hardy Japanese maples like Crimson Queen or Emperor 1. In Union County, zone 7 allows a wider range of Japanese maples, but you must watch for afternoon sun scorch.

Rolette County, North Dakota (ND) is zone 3b with extreme lows of -35 to -30 F. The practical difference is that few trees survive such cold. Union County's milder winters let you grow flowering redbuds and even cherries, though frost-tender blossoms need care.

For Union County buyers, the contrasts show that your zone 7 climate suits a diverse palette, from shade maples to cold-hardy palms, as long as you account for humidity and occasional cold snaps.
