Climate and Hardiness Zone Fit in Lyon County

Lyon County sits in zone 7a, with winter lows that can range from 0 to 5 degrees F across its two ZIP codes. The western part of the county tends to see milder lows, while rural edges may get closer to the bottom end. That narrow span means most zone 7 trees will feel at home throughout the county.

Summer humidity is common here, which benefits flowering trees like crape myrtles but can encourage fungal issues on sensitive species. The Allee Chinese Elm and Pond Cypress handle both the cold snaps and damp summers well. Japanese maples like the Red Dragon need a spot with afternoon shade to avoid leaf scorch in the peak heat.
