The western part of the county sees slightly milder conditions, but zone 6b holds true for every address we serve. Shade trees and evergreens thrive here.

Hardin County, Texas (TX) sits in zone 9a with winter lows of 20 to 25 F. That warmth allows citrus and other subtropical fruits to thrive. In practice, buyers there lean toward citrus trees and heat-loving ornamentals. Lewis County's colder lows mean you need hardier picks like sweetgum and redbud.

Pacific County, Washington (WA) spans zones 8a to 9b with lows 10 to 30 F. Palms and tropicals can survive there. That gap changes the local shortlist to species like the Skyrocket Juniper for windbreaks and the Carolina Sapphire for drought tolerance.

Lyman County, South Dakota (SD) in zones 4b to 5a sees lows down to -25 F. Privacy screens there rely on cold-hardy conifers like eastern redcedar. For your cart, that means you have a wider variety of evergreens and flowering trees available than Lyman County residents do.
