How Lincoln Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 29038 in Cope, South Carolina (SC) sits in zone 8b with winter lows of 15 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. That zone rarely sees the deep cold Lincoln gets. In Cope, heat and humidity tolerance drives tree choices more than cold-hardiness. Locally, that points buyers toward trees like the Chinese Pistachio that can handle both the cold winters and summer heat of Nebraska. A tree that thrives in Cope might not survive a Lincoln winter.

ZIP 57312 in Alpena, South Dakota (SD) is zone 4b with typical winter lows of -25 to -20 degrees Fahrenheit. That is much colder than Lincoln. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees like the Skyrocket Rocky Mountain Juniper that can handle the harshest cold. Lincoln's zone 6a allows a wider range, including less cold-hardy Japanese maples. The practical difference is that Lincoln can grow trees that would struggle in Alpena.

ZIP 98503 in Lacey, Washington (WA) is zone 8b with winter lows of 15 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. That mild coastal climate rarely sees a hard freeze. The practical difference is that Lincoln's -10 to -5 degree lows eliminate many trees that thrive in Lacey's mild winters. Lincoln buyers need cold-hardy picks like the Forest Pansy Eastern Redbud that can handle the freezing temperatures.

For buyers in Lincoln, these contrasts highlight one thing: zone 6a is a sweet spot where many of America's favorite trees can grow, as long as you choose varieties that tolerate real winter cold.
