How Casey Compares to Other Areas

Tree choices shift depending on climate. Here is how Casey compares to three other ZIPs across the country.

ZIP 29364 in Lockhart, South Carolina (SC) sits in zone 8a with winter lows of 10 to 15 F. That area rarely sees the freeze-thaw cycles common here. Locally, that points buyers toward evergreen broadleaf trees and citrus, which are options Lockhart has but Casey does not. In Casey, you need trees that can handle the cold snap, not just a mild winter.

ZIP 02837 in Little Compton, Rhode Island (RI) is zone 7a, with lows 0 to 5 F. Rhode Island's winters are cold but not as extreme as Iowa's. The practical difference is that Little Compton can grow some borderline trees like certain evergreens that might need extra protection in zone 5. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward proven cold-hardy selections that can take -15 without help.

ZIP 37310 in Charleston, Tennessee (TN) is zone 7b, with lows 5 to 10 F. Tennessee's summers are more humid and heat lasts longer. That means trees like Southern magnolia thrive, but they may not handle Iowa's dry cold. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that tolerate both cold winters and moderate summer heat, like the featured American Sycamore and Honeycrisp Apple.

What this means for Casey buyers: stick with trees rated for zone 5 or colder, and you will avoid the losses that milder zones take for granted.
