How Pennington County Compares to Other Areas

Pennington County's zone 3b to 4a is among the coldest in the country. Contrast that with Greene County, Virginia, which falls in zone 7a to 7b with winter lows of 0 to 10 F. That gap changes the local shortlist to trees like Japanese maple, which cannot handle Pennington County winters. You would need to protect any Japanese maple in Greene County, but in Pennington County it is not an option at all.

Addison County, Vermont sits in zone 5a with lows of -20 to -15 F. It is still cold but a full zone warmer than Pennington County. For your cart, that means Addison County buyers have more privacy choices like Leyland cypress. In Pennington County, you must stick to truly hardy evergreens like the Brodie Eastern Red Cedar.

Wayne County, Utah ranges from zone 6a to 7a with winter lows -10 to 5 F. In practice, buyers there lean toward flowering color from redbuds and dogwoods. Pennington County's colder winters make that impractical. Your best flowering bets are fruit trees like Honeycrisp Apple or ornamental that match zone 3.

The key takeaway: Pennington County's deep cold limits the tree palette to proven Zone 3 performers. Any tree you pick must handle -35 F, and that is exactly what our featured selections do.
