How Letts Compares to Other Areas

In ZIP 28409 in Wilmington, North Carolina (NC), zone 8b has winter lows of 15 to 20 F. That warmer climate allows gardeners to grow many plants that cannot survive a zone 5 winter. Japanese maples there can struggle with summer heat, while in Letts they need afternoon shade to avoid leaf scorch. In practice, buyers here lean toward Tamukeyama Japanese Laceleaf Maple for the cascading form that handles both cold winters and summer heat when given partial shade.

In ZIP 08025 in Ewan, New Jersey (NJ), zone 7b has winter lows of 5 to 10 F. That zone supports some citrus in protected spots, but in Letts zone 5b, true citrus is not an option. That gap changes the local shortlist to cold-hardy fruits like Bing Cherry, which requires a pollinator and thrives on the winter chill that Letts provides.

In ZIP 87939 in Monticello, New Mexico (NM), zone 7b has winter lows of 5 to 10 F. That climate allows some cold-hardy palms to survive, but in Letts zone 5b, palms are out of the question. For your cart, that means focusing on cold-hardy evergreens like Skyrocket Juniper or Emerald Green Arborvitae that provide year-round structure without risk of winter damage.

For your yard in Letts, the climate favors trees that handle both deep cold and summer humidity, like the ones in our featured list.
