How Brunswick Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 37404 in Chattanooga, Tennessee (TN) sits in zone 8a with winter lows of 10 to 15 degrees F. That warmth makes Japanese maples more tender varieties possible.

ZIP 78291 in San Antonio, Texas (TX) falls in zone 9a with lows of 20 to 25 F. Palms and tropical trees grow year round there. For your cart, that means palms are not an option in Brunswick. Your choices stay with zone 5 hardy trees like oaks and junipers.
