How Baltimore Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 57110 in Sioux Falls, South Dakota (SD) sits in zone 5a with winter lows from -20 to -15 F. Japanese maples struggle in that cold. The practical difference is that Baltimore's zone 7b allows delicate laceleaf Japanese maples like Crimson Queen, while Sioux Falls must plant hardier species like silver maple.

ZIP 54755 in Mondovi, Wisconsin (WI) is zone 4b with lows -25 to -20 F. Drought tolerance is less critical in the humid Midwest. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward species that handle dry spells. In your area, summer humidity is high, but occasional droughts still favor trees like Leyland Cypress, which tolerates both.

ZIP 82322 in Bairoil, Wyoming (WY) is zone 5b with lows -15 to -10 F. Heat and humidity are rare there. Locally, that points buyers toward trees adapted to arid cold, not humid summers. For your yard, heat-tolerant deciduous trees are key. So the contrast shows that your zone's balance of mild cold and warm, moist summers expands your options compared to extremes.
