How Festus Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 29209 in Columbia, South Carolina (SC) sits in zone 8b with winter lows of 15 to 20 F. Heat and humidity there limit options like Japanese maples that scorch in sustained dry heat. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward heat-tolerant natives and southern evergreens instead.

ZIP 57658 in Wakpala, South Dakota (SD) sits in zone 4b with winter lows of -25 to -20 F. Drought tolerance matters more there, with shorter growing seasons and less summer rainfall.
