In Smithfield, RI (ZIP 02917), zone 6b with typical winter lows -5 to 0 F, winters are milder and allow earlier planting. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that can also handle summer heat and humidity. For you in Estherville, cold-hardiness is the primary filter; heat tolerance matters less.

In Mayesville, SC (ZIP 29104), zone 8b with lows 15 to 20 F, the growing season is longer and summers are hotter.
