How Somers Compares to Other Areas

In ZIP 98639 in North Bonneville, Washington (WA), zone 9a brings winter lows of 20 to 25 degrees F. That warmer climate allows a wider range of flowering trees like crape myrtles and magnolias to flourish without frost damage. For your cart, that means in Somers you will focus on spring-blooming trees that are hardy to zone 6, such as Eastern Redbud or Hearts A'fire Eastern Redbud, to avoid flower loss from late frosts.

In ZIP 57216 in Big Stone City, South Dakota (SD), zone 4b brings winter lows of -25 to -20 degrees F. That extreme cold eliminates many evergreens that are reliable in Somers. That gap changes the local shortlist to: here, you can use Brodie Eastern Red Cedar, Spartan Chinese Juniper, and other cold-hardy screening trees that would never survive the Dakota plains.

In ZIP 29306 in Spartanburg, South Carolina (SC), zone 8a has winter lows of 10 to 15 degrees F. That zone supports some palm species and tropical hibiscus, which would not survive Somers' colder winters. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-hardy fruit trees like Honeycrisp Apple and Chicago Hardy Fig, and away from palms and tropicals.
