Frequently Asked Questions

How cold does it get in Gilsum in winter?

Gilsum's winters are typical of zone 6a, with average low temperatures between -10 and -5 degrees Fahrenheit. That cold is enough to kill trees that are only hardy to zone 7 or above, so every tree we ship to ZIP 03448 is zone-tested.

How Gilsum Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 29410 in Hanahan, South Carolina (SC) sits in zone 9a with winter lows of 20 to 25 F. That mild climate lets Japanese maples like Tamukeyama grow without the heat stress they can experience here. Locally, that points buyers toward choosing a laceleaf maple only if they have a spot with afternoon shade, because our zone 6 summers can get hot enough to scorch leaves. The extra cold also means we need hardier varieties.

ZIP 57787 in Union Center, South Dakota (SD) is zone 4b with lows of -25 to -20 F. That is much colder than Gilsum. The practical difference is that trees like Honeycrisp Apple and Allee Chinese Elm are fully hardy here but would struggle in South Dakota's deep freeze. Our zone 6 gives us more choices, including crape myrtles and some Japanese maples that cannot survive in zone 4.

ZIP 78730 in Austin, Texas (TX) is also zone 9a with lows of 20 to 25 F, but Austin's summers are brutally dry and hot. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that tolerate drought, like the Allee Chinese Elm. In Gilsum, we need trees that handle cold first, then also manage occasional heat. That makes species like Leyland Cypress and Weeping Willow suitable here but not in Texas.

For buyers in Gilsum, the contrasts show that our zone 6 gives a wide middle ground: we avoid the extreme cold of the Dakotas and the extreme heat of Texas. That allows a balanced selection of shade, privacy, and flowering trees that perform well without special care.
