How Fort Sheridan Compares to Other Areas

Tree choices shift when you look at other climates. In ZIP 98007 in Bellevue, Washington (WA), zone 8b with typical winter lows 15 to 20 F, the growing season is mild and wet. That climate supports many fruit and citrus varieties that struggle in Fort Sheridan's zone 6. In practice, buyers here lean toward apples, pears, and cherries rather than citrus, but the mild winters let you try more tender species like figs.

ZIP 78255 in San Antonio, Texas (TX), also zone 8b with lows 15 to 20 F, offers a hot, dry summer that palms and tropicals love. That gap changes the local shortlist to include plants like sago palms and banana trees, which are not viable in your zone. For your cart, that means you skip the tropicals and focus on trees that handle both cold and humidity, such as crape myrtles and river birch.

ZIP 57201 in Watertown, South Dakota (SD), zone 4b with typical winter lows -25 to -20 F, is much colder than your area. Privacy options there shift to hardy conifers like white spruce and juniper. For your cart, that means you have a broader selection of flowering and semi-evergreen trees that would not survive the northern plains.

These contrasts show that Fort Sheridan's zone 6 climate gives you a wide middle ground. You can grow most shade, flowering, and fruit trees that need moderate cold, while avoiding the extremes that limit choices elsewhere.
