How Highland Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 98031 in Kent, Washington sits in zone 8b with winter lows of 15 to 20 degrees F. That area can grow Japanese maples with almost no winter injury. In Highland, the same maples need a sheltered spot away from harsh winds. For your cart, that means you can still plant Emperor 1 or Coral Bark here, but keep them out of open, windy exposures.

ZIP 57220 in Bruce, South Dakota falls in zone 4b where lows hit -25 to -20 degrees F. The colder winters limit flowering options. Many redbuds and crape myrtles would not survive there. That gap changes the local shortlist to cold-tolerant fruit like Honeycrisp apple and tough evergreens. In Highland, your choices are far broader, including nearly every flowering ornamental.

ZIP 29450 in Huger, South Carolina is in zone 8b with mild winters of 15 to 20 degrees F. There, fast-growing privacy screens like arborvitae and magnolias thrive year-round. In practice, buyers here lean toward dense screening options like the Emerald Green Arborvitae, which handle both the cold and the occasional heat of Highland summers.

For you in 48357, these contrasts mean your tree buying decisions are wider than those in the north, but you still need to choose varieties that can handle a winter low of -10 to -5 degrees F.
