How Iberia Parish Compares to Other Areas

In Burt County, Nebraska (zone 5b, winter lows -15 to -10 F), the growing season is much shorter. Japanese maples, which thrive in mild climates, struggle there. For your cart, that means you can grow delicate trees like Japanese maples in Iberia Parish that would not survive a Nebraska winter.

Divide County, North Dakota (zone 3b to 4a, winter lows -35 to -25 F) has extreme cold. Flowering trees like crape myrtles cannot endure that. That gap changes the local shortlist to winter-hardy species. In Iberia Parish, you can rely on summer-long color from crape myrtles.

Merrimack County, New Hampshire (zone 5b to 6a, winter lows -15 to -5 F) sees cold winters that limit broadleaf evergreens. Privacy screens there lean toward needle evergreens.
