How Chicago Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 75076 in Pottsboro, Texas (TX) sits in zone 8a with winter lows of 10 to 15 F. That warmer climate supports fruit and citrus trees that would not survive Chicago's zone 6a winters. In practice, buyers here lean toward sweet cherries like Bing, while Pottsboro yards often grow peaches and citrus. The colder winter in Chicago restricts the fruit list to hardier varieties.

ZIP 99124 in Elmer City, Washington (WA) is zone 7b with lows of 5 to 10 F. That gap changes the local shortlist to palms and tropicals, which are common in the Pacific Northwest but not viable in Chicago's zone 6a. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward deciduous trees that go dormant, while Elmer City can grow borderline evergreen broadleaf plants.

ZIP 57432 in Claremont, South Dakota (SD) is zone 4a with lows of -30 to -25 F. That is colder than Chicago, so screening options differ. For your cart, that means the Taylor Eastern Red Cedar works well in both zones, but Chicago also supports Japanese maples and flowering plums that would struggle in South Dakota's extreme cold.

Overall, Chicago's zone 6a gives you a wide enough winter envelope to grow shade, flowering, privacy, and fruit trees that would fail in colder or warmer climates.
