How Oak Park Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 29672 in Seneca, South Carolina (SC) is zone 8a, with winter lows of 10 to 15 degrees. That much milder climate allows Japanese maples to grow with less risk of winter damage. Locally, that points buyers toward varieties like Orangeola Japanese Maple, which is hardy in Oak Park's zone 6 but may need protection from late frosts.

ZIP 57017 in Colman, South Dakota (SD) is zone 4b, with lows of -25 to -20 degrees. The practical difference is that many trees hardy in Oak Park would not survive those extremes. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward cold-hardy species like Chinese Elm and Honeycrisp Apple.

ZIP 98110 in Bainbridge Island, Washington (WA) is zone 9a, with lows of 20 to 25 degrees and very mild winters. That climate supports drought-tolerant trees like crape myrtles, but Oak Park's colder winters make species like Thunderstruck Lavender Skies Crape Myrtle a better fit than more tender varieties.

For Oak Park buyers, these contrasts mean that zone 6a trees are well suited to your winters, but you should select species that can also handle hot, humid summers without stress.
