How Ste. Genevieve County Compares to Other Areas

Comparing your area to others helps sharpen your tree choices. Here are three counties with different climates.

Charleston County, South Carolina (SC) lies in zone 9a with typical winter lows of 20 to 25 F. Its mild winters allow subtropical trees that would not survive Ste. Genevieve County's cold. The heat and humidity there are intense, so they choose heat-tolerant species like crape myrtles and southern magnolias. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward cold-hardy trees that can handle -5 to 0 F winters.

Deuel County, South Dakota (SD) sits in zone 4b with winter lows around -25 to -20 F. That cold eliminates many trees that grow well in Ste. Genevieve County, especially Japanese maples and sweet cherries. The practical difference is that zone 4b buyers must pick extremely cold-hardy species like bur oak or Siberian elm. Locally, that points buyers toward a broader palette that includes Tamukeyama Japanese Maple and Chinese Pistachio.

Trinity County, Texas (TX) spans zones 8b to 9a with typical winter lows of 15 to 25 F. It is warmer and drier than Ste. Genevieve County. Trees there must tolerate heat and drought, while here you also need cold hardiness. The practical difference is that Trinity County can grow many southern species that would freeze in Missouri. Locally, that points buyers toward trees that handle both Midwest cold and summer humidity, like Taylor Eastern Red Cedar and Mexican Plum.

For Ste. Genevieve County, the contrasts mean your best buys are trees that thrive in zone 6b's cold winters and warm summers - exactly the six featured here.
