How East Moline Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 38107 in Memphis, Tennessee (TN) sits in zone 8a with winter lows 10 to 15 F. That warmer zone can grow Japanese maples without winter dieback. East Moline's 5b lows push maples like Seiryu into a protected spot. In practice, buyers here lean toward oaks and junipers that shrug off -15 F.

ZIP 75639 in De Berry, Texas (TX) lies in zone 8b with lows 15 to 20 F. Palms and tropicals are viable there. They cannot survive an East Moline winter. For your cart, that means sticking with cold-hardy species. Skip any tree that needs a zone warmer than 5b.

ZIP 98816 in Chelan, Washington (WA) is zone 7a with lows 0 to 5 F. Citrus and many fruit trees struggle there without protection. Your 5b cold eliminates nearly all citrus. That gap changes the local shortlist to apples, pears, and cold-hardy figs. The practical takeaway: East Moline's winter lows filter out warm-climate trees, so focus on species proven in zone 5b.
