How Long Point Compares to Other Areas

Tree choices shift depending on local climate. Here's how Long Point stacks up against three other areas.

ZIP 98327 in Dupont, Washington (WA) sits in zone 8b, with winter lows of 15 to 20 F. That mild zone lets residents grow palms and tropical-looking plants. In practice, buyers here lean toward Japanese maples and flowering shrubs that would never survive a Long Point winter. For your cart, that means you can't plant the same tropicals, but your Bur Oak and Spartan Juniper will live for decades while those delicate plants struggle in the cold.

ZIP 20166 in Sterling, Virginia (VA) is zone 7a, lows 0 to 5 F. That's warmer than zone 5, so fruit trees like figs and apples thrive without winter protection. For your cart, that means a Chicago Hardy Fig in Long Point needs a sheltered spot, while in Sterling the same fig could be planted anywhere. That gap changes the local shortlist to hardier fruit selections like the Chicago Hardy Fig or a self-fertile apple with a compatible partner.

ZIP 38101 in Memphis, Tennessee (TN) is zone 8a, lows 10 to 15 F. Flowering color blooms earlier and longer there. Dogwoods and redbuds are native in both zones, but Memphis gets less frost risk for early blossoms. In Long Point, you get the same show, just a few weeks later. A White Dogwood's spring display is still spectacular, just later in the season. That gap changes the local shortlist to varieties that flower after the last hard frost.

What does this mean for your cart? Stick with zone 5 proven picks. Bur Oak, Spartan Juniper, White Dogwood, Chicago Hardy Fig, Emperor 1 Japanese Maple, and Rise 'N Shine Redbud all thrive in Long Point's climate. Order with confidence knowing they're matched to your conditions.
