How Evansville Compares to Other Areas

In ZIP 51365 in Wallingford, Iowa (IA), winter lows drop to -20 to -15 F. That climate rules out many Japanese maples. Locally, that points buyers toward cold-hardy shade trees like Bur Oak, which shrugs off deep freezes.

The practical difference is that trees like the Honeycrisp Apple need enough chill hours to fruit. Wallingford's extreme cold is not a problem for that apple, but the severe winters limit which ornamentals survive.

For ZIP 71367 in Saint Landry, Louisiana (LA), zone 9a means winters rarely dip below 25 F. The practical difference is that Honeycrisp Apple does not get enough chill hours there, so it is not a reliable choice. Here in ZIP 47720, the chill hours are sufficient for that apple and many other fruit trees.

ZIP 91407 in Van Nuys, California (CA), in zone 10a, has winter lows of 30 to 35 F and dry summers. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that handle both humidity and occasional drought, such as Pond Cypress. In Van Nuys, drought tolerance is even more critical, and many of the same trees would need extra water.

For Evansville, the contrasts show that your ZIP 47720's moderate zone 7a climate suits a wide variety of trees, but you will want to focus on species that tolerate humidity and occasional cold snaps.
