How Smithfield Compares to Other Areas
ZIP 29240 in Columbia, South Carolina (SC) sits in zone 8b, with winter lows of 15 to 20 F. That mild climate supports Japanese maples year-round with less winter stress. Locally, that points buyers toward Emperor 1 Japanese Maple, which is hardy enough for your 5b winters but may need a sheltered spot from wind.
ZIP 98243 in Deer Harbor, Washington (WA) is zone 9a, with lows of 20 to 25 F. The practical difference is that Deer Harbor rarely sees deep freezes, so many broadleaf evergreens grow well there. In Smithfield, you need trees that tolerate -15 F, so species like Eastern Redcedar are a better fit for privacy.
ZIP 02874 in Saunderstown, Rhode Island (RI) is zone 7a, with lows of 0 to 5 F. That zone is colder than 8b but still milder than 5b. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees like Allee Chinese Elm, which handles cold and summer heat equally well. For your Smithfield yard, the extra cold means sticking with the hardiest proven options.
What That Means for Your Cart
The contrasts show that Smithfield's cold winter limits tropicals and mild-zone ornamentals. Your best buys are trees that prove themselves at -15 F, like Eastern Redcedar, Allee Chinese Elm, and Honeycrisp Apple.
