How Camden County Compares to Other Areas

Lewis County, Washington (WA) sits in zones 7a to 8b with winter lows of 0 to 20 F. That milder, wetter climate allows Japanese maples to grow with less winter stress than in Camden County.

For your cart, that means the Bloodgood Japanese Maple you order here needs good drainage and a sheltered spot to match its performance in Lewis County's milder winters.

Coleman County, Texas (TX) is in zones 8a to 8b with winter lows of 10 to 20 F. Its longer, hotter growing season supports a wider range of flowering trees like crape myrtles and redbuds that bloom for months.

That gap changes the local shortlist to: in Camden County, choose early-blooming redbuds and mildew-resistant crape myrtles like Muskogee to make the most of your shorter warm season.

Marshall County, South Dakota (SD) is in zones 4a to 4b with winter lows of -30 to -20 F. That extreme cold rules out many evergreens and flowering trees that do well here.
