How Kansas City Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 29656 in La France, South Carolina (SC) sits in zone 8a with winter lows of 10 to 15 F. Japanese maples like the Viridis laceleaf can struggle there because of higher heat and humidity. Locally, that points buyers toward giving laceleaf maples afternoon shade, which works here in zone 6b as well.

In contrast, ZIP 57321 in Canova, South Dakota (SD) is zone 5a with lows -20 to -15 F. Tree selections there focus on extreme cold hardiness. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees like the Chinese Pistachio and Hetzii juniper that handle both cold and some warmth.

ZIP 98034 in Kirkland, Washington (WA) is zone 9a with lows 20 to 25 F. Mild winters and cool summers mean trees there rarely face scorching heat and humidity. The practical difference is that in Kansas City, trees must tolerate both summer heat and winter cold, so selections like crape myrtle and Eastern redbud are well suited.

For ZIP 64138 buyers, the main lesson is to choose trees that handle both cold winters and hot, humid summers, exactly what this zone 6b list provides.
