ZIP 62769 in Springfield, Illinois (IL) zone 6a, winter lows -10 to -5°F. Springfield's milder winters allow a broader range of evergreens and broadleafs. But summers there are hotter and drier. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward drought-tolerant species. In Gaastra, cold is the main limiter; summer heat is moderate.

ZIP 47527 in Dubois, Indiana (IN) zone 6b, winter lows -5 to 0°F. Dubois has humid, hot summers. Locally, that points buyers toward heat- and humidity-tolerant trees like river birch or sycamore. In Gaastra, those same trees work for different reasons, they handle cold well too.

For Gaastra, focus on trees proven in zone 4a with cold tolerance and reliable spring growth. The warmer zones add heat and moisture challenges that Gaastra buyers rarely face.
