How Ellisville Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 76439 in Dennis, Texas (TX) sits in zone 8a with winter lows of 10 to 15 F. That zone is warm enough for Japanese maples to grow without winter protection, but the dry heat risks leaf scorch. In Ellisville's zone 6a, you get colder winters that actually help Japanese maples by providing the chill they need. That gap changes the local shortlist to maples like Orangeola that handle the cold and need afternoon shade only in summer.

ZIP 99346 in Plymouth, Washington (WA) is zone 7b with winter lows of 5 to 10 F. That area's mild winters and wet climate favor broadleaf evergreens for privacy. In Ellisville, the colder zone 6a winters mean you need hardier options like Oakland Southern Living Holly. For your cart, that means you choose cold-tough screening trees that stay compact and green through -10 F.

ZIP 57341 in Gann Valley, South Dakota (SD) is zone 4b with winter lows of -25 to -20 F. That extreme cold rules out many flowering trees like redbuds and most Japanese maples.
