How Hamilton Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 02862 in Pawtucket, Rhode Island (RI) sits in zone 7a with winter lows of 0 to 5 F. That is about 15 degrees warmer than what Hamilton sees. Gardeners there can grow broadleaf evergreens and early-blooming trees that would lose their buds here.

ZIP 29554 in Hemingway, South Carolina (SC) sits in zone 8b with winter lows of 15 to 20 F. Growers there worry more about drought and sandy soil than about freeze damage.
