Falcon sits in USDA hardiness zone 6b, where typical winter lows run about -5 to 0 degrees F.

Summers in the Laclede County area bring humidity and occasional heat waves. Trees that tolerate both cold winters and warm, humid summers tend to perform best here.

Frequently Asked Questions

How cold does it get in Falcon in winter?

Falcon's USDA hardiness zone is 6b, with typical winter lows between -5 and 0 degrees F. That means the area sees cold enough winters to require zone-hardy trees, but not the extreme deep freezes that zone 4 or 5 locations experience.

What are the best shade trees for Falcon?

The Cedar Elm is a strong pick for shade in Falcon. It is a native species that handles zone 6 winters and builds a broad canopy over time. Other shade trees suited to this area include oaks and maples that tolerate both cold winters and humid summers.

What are good privacy or screening trees for Falcon?

Evergreen conifers like the Blue Atlas Cedar provide year-round screening in zone 6. They hold their needles through winter and add structure to the landscape. For a faster screen, consider upright evergreens that stay dense in Missouri's climate.

Can I grow fruit or citrus trees in Falcon?

Citrus trees cannot survive Falcon's winter lows and need a greenhouse or indoor space. Cold-hardy fruit trees like the Bing Cherry can produce well here, but the Bing Cherry requires a second compatible sweet cherry nearby for pollination. Choose fruit varieties matched to zone 6 chill hours for the best results.

How Falcon Compares to Other Areas

The tree options that work well in Falcon look different from what buyers choose in warmer or colder parts of the country. Here is how three other ZIPs stack up against yours.

ZIP 98002 in Auburn, Washington (WA) sits in zone 8b with typical winter lows of 15 to 20 F. That milder climate opens the door to citrus and other tender fruit trees that cannot survive Falcon's colder winters. In zone 6b, fruit growers need cold-hardy varieties like the Bing Cherry, and even then a pollinator is required for a crop. In practice, buyers here lean toward stone fruits and hardy berries rather than citrus.

ZIP 78839 in Crystal City, Texas (TX) falls in zone 9a with winter lows of 20 to 25 F. That zone supports palms and tropicals that would fail in Falcon's -5 to 0 F lows. Crystal City buyers can plant queen palms or citrus in the ground year-round. That gap changes the local shortlist to cold-hardy evergreens and deciduous ornamentals that thrive in zone 6 without needing winter protection.

ZIP 57050 in Nunda, South Dakota (SD) sits in zone 4b with winter lows of -25 to -20 F. That extreme cold limits evergreen privacy options to only the hardiest conifers. Falcon's zone 6b offers a broader palette for screening, including Blue Atlas Cedar and other evergreens that would not survive a South Dakota winter. For your cart, that means more privacy choices and better growth rates than what a zone 4 yard allows.

For Falcon buyers, the practical takeaway is clear: your zone 6b climate gives you room to choose from shade trees, ornamentals, evergreens, and fruit trees that would be too tender for colder areas and hardier than what warmer zones require.
