ZIP 05406 in Burlington, Vermont (VT), zone 5a, typical winter lows -20 to -15 F.
That gap changes the local shortlist to prioritizing extreme cold tolerance. In Zone 5a, evergreens and privacy screens like arborvitae are common because many broadleaf evergreens can't survive. For you in Laurel, privacy options go far beyond, you can use Little Gem Southern Magnolia or even certain palms for screening. That gap changes the local shortlist to those cold-tender evergreens that thrive here.

ZIP 53785 in Madison, Wisconsin (WI), zone 5b, typical winter lows -15 to -10 F.
For your cart, that means flowering color is much more limited in Wisconsin. Zone 5b rules out many Crape Myrtles and Southern Magnolias that need warmer winters. Here in 7b, you have a full palette of flowering trees, like the Rising Sun Eastern Redbud or Crape Myrtles, that put on a show from spring through fall. For your cart, that means you can confidently pick ornamentals that wouldn't survive a Wisconsin winter.

ZIP 82939 in Mountain View, Wyoming (WY), zone 5b, typical winter lows -15 to -10 F.
In practice, buyers here lean toward fruit trees that need fewer chill hours, often dwarf varieties protected by snow cover. In Laurel's 7b, the Elberta Peach's 800 chill hours are easily met, and you can also grow figs and some citrus in containers. In practice, buyers here lean toward low-chill varieties, but your longer warm season opens up full-size peaches and apples.

What these contrasts mean for your cart: Laurel's mild winters give you a much wider selection of shade, flowering, and fruit trees compared to colder regions. Focus on trees labeled for zones 7 to 9, and you'll get reliable growth without extra winter protection.
