How Cornell Compares to Other Areas

Berry, Alabama (ZIP 35546) falls in zone 8a with winter lows around 10 to 15 degrees F. That warmth allows trees like southern magnolias and citrus that would never survive a Cornell winter. Locally, that points buyers toward trees that can handle -15 to -10 F. Cold-hardy junipers and sweetgums become the practical choices here.

Salado, Arkansas (ZIP 72575) sits in zone 7b with winter lows of 5 to 10 degrees F. Summers there are hot and often dry, so drought-tolerant trees like crape myrtle and red oak are common. The practical difference is that Cornell's colder winters limit the palette to trees that are both cold-hardy and moderately drought-tolerant once established.

Woodruff, Arizona (ZIP 85942) is zone 7a with winter lows of 0 to 5 degrees F. The high desert brings dry heat and low humidity, which suits trees like pinyon pine and juniper. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that can handle both cold and dry conditions. In Cornell, you have more flexibility with moisture-loving shade trees. So for your Cornell yard, prioritize cold-hardy species from the featured list, and you'll get trees that thrive despite the deep winter cold.
