Compare Saint Louis zone 7a with colder areas. In ZIP 57251 in Marvin, South Dakota (SD), winter lows hit -25 to -20 F. Zone 4b rules out most Japanese maples. The practical difference is that Emperor 1 Japanese Maple cannot survive those winters. Saint Louis' milder zone allows these trees to thrive.
