How Lincoln Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 99354 in Richland, Washington (WA) sits in zone 7b, with winter lows around 5 to 10 F. That milder cold means Japanese maples like Orangeola or Bloodgood grow without winter protection. In practice, buyers here lean toward delicate laceleaf maples that Lincoln's zone 6 may need shelter from drying winds.

ZIP 78676 in Wimberley, Texas (TX) has zone 8b, with winter lows 15 to 20 F. This warmth supports palms and tropicals that cannot survive Lincoln's freeze. For your cart, that means tropical trees like citrus or hibiscus stay indoors in Lincoln; your trees need full cold hardiness.

ZIP 57217 in Bradley, South Dakota (SD) is zone 4b with lows -25 to -20 F. That extreme cold rules out many fruit trees and nearly all citrus. That gap changes the local shortlist to cold-hardy apples and the Chicago Hardy Fig, which you can also grow in Lincoln.
