ZIP 37332 in Evensville, Tennessee (TN) is in zone 7b with winter lows 5 to 10 F. The milder winters allow a wider range of flowering trees, such as cherry blossoms and magnolias, that might not survive your zone 5b cold. For your cart, that means you should stick with cold-hardy flowering options like Cherry Plum or Eastern Redbud for reliable spring color.

ZIP 76571 in Salado, Texas (TX) is zone 8b with lows 15 to 20 F. The warmer climate supports a different mix of evergreens and privacy plants, including southern magnolias and arborvitaes. That gap changes the local shortlist to narrow columnar redcedars like Taylor Eastern Red Cedar for your privacy screens, which handle the cold better than many southern options.

ZIP 98592 in Union, Washington (WA), also zone 8b with lows 15 to 20 F, has a maritime climate that permits palms and tropicals in protected spots.
