In Carbon County, your colder zone 5 winters limit blooming options to hardy species like Ruby Falls Weeping Redbud. For your cart, that means focusing on cold-tolerant ornamentals rather than tender magnolias or dogwoods.

Bedford County, Tennessee (TN) sits in zone 7b, with winter lows of 5 to 10 F. That warmer zone supports many evergreens like Leyland Cypress that cannot survive your -20 F lows. Your privacy screening choices narrow to cold-hardy options such as Taylor Eastern Red Cedar. That gap changes the local shortlist to dense, native evergreens that handle harsh winters.

Castro County, Texas (TX) is in zone 7a, with winter lows of 0 to 5 F. That zone can support palms and other tropical-looking plants. Carbon County's zone 5 cannot sustain those.
