How Saint Louis Compares to Other Areas

Compared to colder parts of the country, Saint Louis's zone 7a gives you more choices. For example, ZIP 05478 in Saint Albans, Vermont (VT) sits in zone 5a with winter lows of -20 to -15 F. That gap changes the local shortlist to Japanese maples, which are often risky there. In Saint Louis, Japanese maples like the Emperor 1 thrive in dappled shade. For your cart, that means you can consider delicate laceleaf varieties that Vermont yards cannot reliably keep.

Another contrast is ZIP 53824 in Sinsinawa, Wisconsin (WI), also zone 5a. Winters there kill many broadleaf evergreens. Privacy and screening options in Sinsinawa rely on hardy conifers. In practice, buyers here lean toward Southern magnolia or Eastern red cedar for year-round privacy. The milder zone lets you use a wider range of evergreens.

ZIP 82633 in Douglas, Wyoming (WY) is zone 5a as well, with the same low winter temps. Flowering color in Douglas comes from cold-tolerant species like lilacs. In Saint Louis, you can plant crape myrtles that bloom all summer. For your cart, that means a longer season of color. The practical takeaway: your zone 7a climate unlocks many trees that would need extra care or simply fail in colder zones.
