Placer County, California (CA) sits in zones 7a to 9b, with winter lows from 0 to 30 F. That is far milder than Hamilton County's 5a. The practical difference is drought tolerance.

Choctaw County, Alabama (AL) lies in zone 8b, with winter lows 15 to 20 F. It is hot and humid in summer. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward heat-tolerant and humidity-resistant species.

The cold shifts your list toward hardy species like American Sycamore.

Woodruff County, Arkansas (AR) is zone 8a, winter lows 10 to 15 F. It is warmer on average.
