In ZIP 02907 in Providence, Rhode Island (RI), zone 7a has winter lows of 0 to 5 F. That zone is warmer than Elk City by about 10 degrees. In Providence, trees that are borderline for cold hardiness perform well, but the city also deals with coastal humidity. Locally, that points buyers toward trees that handle cold and humidity.
