How Highland Compares to Other Areas

In Pickens, SC (ZIP 29671) zone 8a brings hotter summers and mild winters with lows 10-15 degrees F. Trees there need more heat tolerance. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that can handle both cold winters and humid summer days. Varieties like Merlot Redbud and Cedar Elm adapt well to both.

Wasta, SD (ZIP 57791) zone 4b sees winter lows of -25 to -20 F, much colder than Highland. The practical difference is that Wasta's trees must survive extreme cold and dry winds. In our zone 6a, we focus more on trees that handle moderate drought and summer heat, like Cedar Elm.

Seattle, WA (ZIP 98185) zone 9a rarely sees freezing temperatures with lows 20-25 F. Locally, that points buyers toward mild-climate trees that wouldn't survive Highland's zone 6a winters. For Highland, cold-hardiness is the starting point, so we pick trees rated to zone 6 or colder.

For Highland buyers, that means choosing trees that handle both cold winters and warm summers.
