Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward heat and humidity tolerance. Benton Harbor's cooler summers reduce leaf scorch risk for maples and other sensitive trees, giving you more options under the canopy.

What this means for your cart: Benton Harbor's zone 6b climate is cooler than these comparison areas, so you can safely choose trees that would struggle in warmer zones, especially Japanese maples and fruit trees that need winter chill.
