How Memphis Compares to Other Areas
ZIP 68042 is in zone 5b with cold winters. But other parts of the country have very different climates. Here is how Memphis stacks up against three other ZIP codes.
ZIP 29122 in Peak, South Carolina (SC) is in zone 8a with winter lows of 10 to 15 degrees F. That area can grow Japanese maples with less worry about winter dieback. Locally, that points buyers toward Emperor 1 Japanese Maple for a spot that gets some wind protection. In Peak, those maples can go almost anywhere.
ZIP 98528 in Belfair, Washington (WA) is zone 8b with lows of 15 to 20 degrees F. The Pacific Northwest has mild winters and dry summers. Memphis gets colder and more humidity. The practical difference is that Brodie Eastern Red Cedar handles both wet winters and dry spells. In Belfair, you would look at different evergreens for moisture.
ZIP 02907 in Providence, Rhode Island (RI) is zone 7a with lows of 0 to 5 degrees F. That is only a few degrees warmer than Memphis. But Providence gets less extreme cold snaps. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees like American Sycamore and Honeycrisp Apple that are safely hardy in zone 5. In Providence, you can push the boundary a bit with borderline trees.
For Memphis buyers, the message is clear: stick with trees rated for zone 5 or lower. Your winter lows are a full ten degrees colder than many places, so cold-hardy picks are a must.
