How Saint Louis Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 05401 in Burlington, Vermont sits in zone 5b with winter lows down to -15 to -10 F. Japanese maples like Red Dragon are at the edge of hardiness there, often requiring winter protection. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-hardy evergreens and deciduous shade trees.

The contrast is clear: zone 7a's milder winters let Saint Louis homeowners plant Japanese maples without worry about root freeze.

ZIP 54703 in Eau Claire, Wisconsin is zone 4b with lows of -25 to -20 F. Palms and tropicals are out of the question. For your cart, that means you can enjoy broad-leaved evergreens like Southern Magnolia that simply cannot survive there.

Your zone 7a opens up a much wider palette of plants.

ZIP 82515 in Hudson, Wyoming, zone 5a with -20 to -15 F lows, limits fruit tree options. Many stone fruits and citrus would struggle. That gap changes the local shortlist to cold-hardy apples and crabapples. Here, you can grow figs and even some peach varieties with proper placement.

These contrasts show that Saint Louis zone 7a gives you more choices for flowering, evergreen, and fruit trees than colder regions.
