How Leonardtown Compares to Other Areas

The hardiness zone difference between Leonardtown and other parts of the country changes what trees are practical. Here is how three other areas line up.

ZIP 70739 in Greenwell Springs, Louisiana (LA) sits in zone 9a with winter lows of 20 to 25 degrees. That warmth allows Japanese maples to grow without leaf scorch from heat. Locally, that points buyers toward maples that handle humidity, like the Emperor 1, but here in Leonardtown summer heat is not extreme enough to limit most Japanese maple varieties.

ZIP 52727 in Bryant, Iowa (IA) lands in zone 5a with lows from -20 to -15. That far colder climate rules out redbuds and palms and forces only the toughest oaks and junipers. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees with medium cold tolerance like Chinkapin Oak and The Rising Sun Eastern Redbud, which would not survive an Iowa winter.

ZIP 58430 in Denhoff, North Dakota (ND) hits zone 4a with lows of -30 to -25. Heat and humidity are not an issue there; winterkill is. The practical difference is that Leonardtown can grow peach trees and dwarf palmetto palms, while Denhoff cannot. For local buyers, the contrast means your cart can include species that would be impossible in much colder zones.
