How Rolling Meadows Compares to Other Areas

Comparing Rolling Meadows to other parts of the country shows how zone and climate shape tree choices.

Take ZIP 92836 in Fullerton, California (CA). That area is zone 10b with winter lows of 35 to 40 F. Cold-hardiness is rarely a factor. Tropical and citrus trees thrive there. Locally, that points buyers toward cold-tough oaks and maples that survive -10 F. The practical difference is that your shipping season is narrower, spring and autumn only.

Now look at ZIP 33680 in Tampa, Florida (FL). Zone 10a, winter lows 30 to 35 F. Heat and humidity dominate, and trees must tolerate wet summers. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward drought-tolerant species like oaks and pines. In Rolling Meadows, the same heat and humidity occur, but you also need winter hardiness. Oaks like Chinkapin Oak handle both.

Finally, ZIP 30093 in Norcross, Georgia (GA). Zone 8a, winter lows 10 to 15 F. Drought tolerance matters less there. Your zone 6a is colder by about 15 degrees. The practical difference is that you cannot grow the same broad-leaf evergreens or magnolias that thrive in Georgia. Stick with the proven zone-6 selections.

What this means for your cart: choose trees that are rated for zone 6 or colder. The featured trees on this page all fit that requirement.
