How Rochester Compares to Other Areas

Rochester's zone 6a is colder than many parts of the country. Here is how it lines up against three other areas.

ZIP 76377 in Petrolia, Texas (TX) sits in zone 8a with winter lows of 10 to 15 F. That area can grow Japanese maples without worry about cold damage. In practice, buyers here lean toward heat-tolerant varieties like crape myrtles and citrus. Rochester's colder winters rule out those same options.

ZIP 99354 in Richland, Washington (WA) is zone 7b with lows of 5 to 10 F. Some palms and tropicals survive there, but not in Rochester. For your cart, that means Rochester's winters are too severe for any palms. Stick with cold-hardy evergreens and deciduous trees.

ZIP 57522 in Blunt, South Dakota (SD) is zone 4b with lows of -25 to -20 F. That gap changes the local shortlist to extremely hardy fruits like apples and plums. Rochester can still grow figs and other semi-hardy fruit with winter protection, which zone 4b cannot.

For Rochester, focus on trees that handle cold well, like the featured Bur Oak and junipers. Avoid anything that needs mild winters.
