How Towson Compares to Other Areas
ZIP 04485 in Shirley Mills, Maine (ME) sits in zone 5a with winter lows of -20 to -15 F. That's a full two zones colder than Towson. Japanese maples? Most laceleaf varieties like Red Dragon survive zone 5 but need protection from drying winds. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-hardy evergreens and native oaks.
ZIP 56311 in Barrett, Minnesota (MN) is zone 4b, lows -25 to -20 F. Palms and tropicals are out of the question in that cold. Even figs need heavy mulching. For your cart, that means Towson's zone 7 opens up figs and a wider array of ornamentals. Owners there focus on zone 4-hardy apples and conifers.
ZIP 59875 in Victor, Montana (MT) is zone 5b, lows -15 to -10 F. Fruit and citrus viability is limited. Cherries and apples require careful variety selection. That gap changes the local shortlist to cold-tough stone fruits. In Towson, you can grow Chicago Hardy Fig without winter protection and enjoy early-blooming cherry plums.
For Towson buyers, the contrasts mean your cart can include a broader range of flowering, fruit, and ornamental trees than in colder ZIPs.
