How Olla Compares to Other Areas

Consider ZIP 84317 in Huntsville, Utah (UT), zone 6a with winter lows -10 to -5 F. That cold rules out many Japanese maples that need milder winters. In practice, buyers here lean toward hardy species like the Bloodgood Japanese Maple, which tolerates zone 5. For your cart in Olla, zone 8b means you can choose a wider range of Japanese maples without worry.

Look at ZIP 16053 in Renfrew, Pennsylvania (PA), zone 6b with lows -5 to 0 F. Palms and tropicals are not an option there because they cannot survive the deep freeze. For your cart in Olla, zone 8b lets you plant hardy palms like the Chinese Windmill Palm, which enjoys the heat and humidity.

ZIP 53235 in Saint Francis, Wisconsin (WI), zone 6a, with -10 to -5 F lows, is tough on fruit trees. Most citrus and many stone fruits cannot handle that cold. That gap changes the local shortlist to cold-hardy apples and plums. In Olla, you can grow Elberta Peach, cherry plums, and even try citrus in protected spots.

For you in Olla, warmer winters open up a much bigger selection of trees than is practical in colder parts of the country. Focus on heat-tolerant shade and fruit trees, and enjoy the variety.
