How Westwood Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 98536 in Copalis Crossing, Washington (WA) sits in zone 9a with winter lows of 20 to 25 F. Those mild winters make Japanese maples possible but often require shade from summer heat. In Westwood's zone 6b, the colder winters limit some delicate maples, but the Seiryu Japanese Laceleaf Maple handles the chill well. That gap changes the local shortlist to more cold-hardy varieties.

ZIP 76101 in Fort Worth, Texas (TX) lies in zone 8b with winter lows of 15 to 20 F. Privacy screens there use fast-growing evergreens that don't need extreme cold hardiness. In Westwood, the tougher zone 6 winters limit choices to hardier evergreens like Eastern Redcedar. For your cart, that means evergreens that survive -5 F are the smarter choice.

ZIP 89003 in Beatty, Nevada (NV) is zone 8a with winter lows of 10 to 15 F. Flowering trees like redbuds bloom reliably there but need careful watering in the dry heat. In Westwood, the colder zone 6b ensures adequate winter chill for redbuds and fruit trees, and summer humidity is less of an issue. In practice, buyers here lean toward redbuds and dogwoods that handle both cold and some humidity.

For Westwood, the contrast shows that cold hardiness and proper chill hours are key factors in your tree selection.
