How Skidmore Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 24460 in Millboro, Virginia sits in zone 7a with winter lows around 0 to 5 F. That warmer climate allows a wider range of fruit trees, including some citrus if protected. In practice, buyers there lean toward early-ripening fruit varieties. In Skidmore, our colder zone 5b rules out citrus and pushes fruit choices toward hardy sweet cherries like Bing (with a pollinator) and apples.

ZIP 37320 in Cleveland, Tennessee is zone 7b, with winter lows of 5 to 10 F. That zone supports palms and tropicals that would not survive here. That gap changes the local shortlist to focus on hardy evergreens and cold-tolerant ornamentals. For Skidmore, stick with species that handle -15 to -10 F, like the Brodie Eastern Red Cedar.

ZIP 75359 in Dallas, Texas is zone 8b, with winter lows 15 to 20 F. Privacy and screening options there include broadleaf evergreens that stay leafy all winter. For your cart, that means you need cold-hardy evergreens like Brodie redcedar or deciduous screens like Pond Cypress for seasonal privacy.

For your cart in Skidmore, the contrasts mean you should prioritize cold-hardy trees that survive our winters and accept that some warm-climate options are off the list.
