How Hersey Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 27204 in Asheboro, North Carolina (NC) sits in zone 8a with winter lows of 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. That warmer climate allows Japanese maples to grow with less winter protection. Locally, that points buyers toward species like the Tamukeyama Japanese Laceleaf Maple, which benefits from a sheltered spot in Hersey's colder zone 5a.

ZIP 88042 in Hillsboro, New Mexico (NM) is also zone 8a but with a dry, high-desert feel. There, cold-hardiness is less of a factor, and heat tolerance matters more. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward cold-hardy trees like Chinese Elm and American Pillar Arborvitae that laugh off Hersey's -20 degrees.

ZIP 07410 in Fair Lawn, New Jersey (NJ) is zone 7a with lows of 0 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit. That's still cold but less extreme than Hersey, and the area faces more summer humidity. The practical difference is that Hersey buyers need trees that handle deep cold snaps and can also tolerate a shorter growing season.

What these contrasts mean for your order: the trees that thrive here are the ones bred for zone 5 or colder. Stick with the zone-matched picks on this page, and you'll set your yard up for success.
