ZIP 57566 in Parmelee, South Dakota (SD) sits in zone 5a with winter lows as low as -20 to -15 degrees Fahrenheit. That cold rules out many of the trees that thrive here. Only the most cold-hardy species survive there.

Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that thrive in humid summers, such as the Tuscarora Crape Myrtle and the Bald Cypress. These handle our warm, moist air without leaf issues.

ZIP 82321 in Baggs, Wyoming (WY) is zone 4b with extreme cold and dry conditions. Winter lows can reach -25 to -20 degrees Fahrenheit. Drought tolerance is critical there.
