How Huntington Woods Compares to Other Areas

Huntington Woods sits in zone 6b, with winter lows around -5 to 0 F. That gives a warmer climate than northern zones but cooler than the Deep South.

Compare ZIP 55126 in Saint Paul, Minnesota (MN). That area is zone 5a with winter lows -20 to -15 F. Japanese maples like Emperor 1 and Seiryu struggle in Saint Paul's extreme cold and need extra winter protection. In Huntington Woods, those same maples are reliable landscape plants. For your cart, that means you can add a Japanese maple without the worry of winterkill.

Next, ZIP 39088 in Holly Bluff, Mississippi (MS). That region is zone 8b with lows 15 to 20 F. Flowering color there includes crape myrtles and redbuds that bloom earlier and longer than in Huntington Woods. Zone 6b's later spring frosts delay some bloom, so Texas Redbud is a safe choice. That gap changes the local shortlist to earlier-blooming, hardier ornamentals that won't get caught by a late freeze.

Finally, ZIP 59937 in Whitefish, Montana (MT). Zone 5a, winter lows -20 to -15 F. Privacy and screening there rely on hardy evergreens like arborvitae that survive deep cold. In Huntington Woods, you have more options: broadleaved evergreens like the Christmas Jewel Holly can thrive, and deciduous screens such as Bald Cypress work because winters are milder. In practice, buyers here lean toward a mix of deciduous and evergreen for year-round privacy without the severe winter limits of Montana.

For your Huntington Woods yard, these contrasts mean you can plant a wider variety of Japanese maples, flowering trees, and privacy screens than in colder or hotter regions, as long as you respect the local summer heat and occasional late frosts.
