In practice, buyers here lean toward Japanese maples, which need zone 5 or milder. Sweet Grass County cannot grow Japanese maples reliably; the winter lows are too severe. For your cart, that means sticking with cold-hardy choices like Birch and Juniper. You get the right picks for your zone without risking winter damage.

Curry County, Oregon (OR) is zone 9a to 9b with lows of 20 to 30 F. Palms and tropicals thrive there. Sweet Grass County sees winter lows of -25 to -15 F, which kills all palms.

But your trees will have the strong cold hardiness needed for Montana winters.

Alamance County, North Carolina (NC) is zone 8a with lows of 10 to 15 F. Citrus and warm-weather fruits grow there. Sweet Grass County cannot grow citrus; the cold snaps are too deep.
