For your cart, that means flowering trees that need a long growing season may struggle here.

ZIP 24028 in Roanoke, Virginia (VA) is zone 7b with lows 5 to 10 F. Privacy screens of evergreens grow vigorously there. In Unionville, you need hardier options like Liberty Holly or other zone 5 evergreens. That gap changes the local shortlist to cold-tolerant evergreens that stay dense through winter. Locally, that points buyers toward hollies and junipers.
