Trees for Zone 5 in Annawan

How Annawan Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 92655 in Midway City, California (CA) sits in zone 10a with winter lows of 30 to 35 degrees F. That warm, humid-free climate lets homeowners grow citrus and tropical trees year-round. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward cold-hardy species like the Chinkapin Oak or the Brodie Eastern Red Cedar. The heat and humidity tolerance that makes the Dura Heat River Birch a smart pick in Annawan is less of a concern there.

ZIP 36263 in Graham, Alabama (AL) shares zone 8a with lows of 10 to 15 degrees F, but its humidity and longer growing season allow earlier-blooming trees. The practical difference is that in Annawan, late frosts can harm fruit blossoms, while in Graham the risk is lower. You might plant a Bing Cherry there with less worry about frost protection.

ZIP 72045 in El Paso, Arkansas (AR) is also zone 8a with similar winter lows, but its dry spells are milder. Locally, that points buyers toward trees that handle drought poorly, whereas in Annawan you need trees that withstand occasional dry summers as well as cold winters.
