How Lillie Compares to Other Areas

Compare Lillie to ZIP 53716 in Madison, Wisconsin (zone 5b, winter lows -15 to -10 F). The much colder winters make Japanese maples nearly impossible to grow there without heavy protection. In Lillie's zone 8b, Japanese maples can thrive if given afternoon shade. In practice, buyers here lean toward the option to add a Japanese maple for its delicate foliage, a choice unavailable in Madison.

ZIP 82221 in Lagrange, Wyoming is zone 5a with lows -20 to -15 F. Those winters kill most fruit trees like citrus and even some stone fruits. That gap changes the local shortlist to cold-hardy fruits like figs and certain apples. Here, zone 8b allows citrus in containers and the self-fertile Cold Hardy Avocado in the ground.

ZIP 25715 in Huntington, West Virginia sits in zone 7a with lows 0 to 5 F. That makes palms and tropicals marginal, needing winter protection. For your cart, that means Lillie can grow cold-hardy palms like the Dwarf Palmetto with no extra care, while Huntington gardeners must wrap or move them.
