In Marion County, Alabama (AL), winter lows hover at 5 to 10°F, much milder than Delta County. The practical difference is heat and drought tolerance matters more there. Here, you don't need to worry about summer drought stress; cold-hardiness is your priority.

Lonoke County, Arkansas (AR) sits in zones 8a to 8b with winter lows 10 to 20°F. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that tolerate humidity and heat. Delta County's cooler summers mean you can grow many species that would struggle in AR's muggy season.
