How Lewiston Compares to Other Areas

Tree choices shift when you compare Lewiston to climates with milder winters, more humidity, or longer droughts.

In ZIP 94172 in San Francisco, California (CA), zone 10b keeps winter lows above freezing at 35 to 40 F. That zone never sees the cold that defines zone 6a. San Francisco buyers can grow subtropical and drought-tolerant species that would not survive a Nebraska winter. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward cold-hardy shade trees and deciduous ornamentals that go dormant.

ZIP 20052 in Washington, District of Columbia (DC) sits in zone 8a with winter lows of 10 to 15 F. That is warmer than Lewiston by about 20 degrees. The longer growing season in D.C. supports earlier-blooming trees and a wider range of evergreens. The practical difference is that Lewiston buyers need trees that handle a deeper, longer cold period. Trees here must be rated to at least zone 6 to be reliable.

ZIP 36877 in Smiths Station, Alabama (AL) is zone 8b with winter lows of 15 to 20 F. Summers there are more humid and hot than in southeast Nebraska. Smiths Station growers can choose from southern magnolias and longer-blooming crape myrtles. Locally, that points buyers toward trees that tolerate cold snaps first and summer heat second, a reversal from the Deep South priorities.

For buyers in Lewiston, these contrasts mean that cold-hardiness is the first filter. Trees that succeed here must survive winter lows near -10 F and still perform in summer heat.
