Take ZIP 37213 in Nashville, Tennessee (TN). That area sits in zone 7b with winter lows of 5 to 10 F. Japanese maples that struggle in zone 5a thrive there without shelter. In practice, buyers here lean toward laceleaf and dissected forms like the Seiryu and Crimson Queen. For your cart, that means a Japanese maple in Doon needs a protected spot and a bit more care than the same tree in Nashville would.

Now look at ZIP 76561 in Oglesby, Texas (TX). Zone 8b with winter lows of 15 to 20 F. Palm trees and tropicals survive the winter there. Nothing that tender works in Doon. For your cart, that means palms and tropicals are off the table. Your cold-hardy picks like the Chicago Hardy Fig and Spartan Juniper are the smart alternatives.

Finally, ZIP 99344 in Othello, Washington (WA). Zone 7a with winter lows of 0 to 5 F. Citrus and stone fruit are viable there because the cold is milder and more consistent. That gap changes the local shortlist to cold-hardy fruit only. The Chicago Hardy Fig fits Doon. Standard citrus does not.

What these contrasts mean for your cart: stick with trees rated for zone 5a. The selections above are proven for your winter lows.
