ZIP 80830 in Matheson, Colorado (CO) is zone 5b with lows of -15 to -10 F. The practical difference is huge.

ZIP 06927 in Stamford, Connecticut (CT) is zone 7a with lows of 0 to 5 F. That area gets more snow and rain, so trees there must handle wet soil and cold. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that tolerate dry air and alkaline soil, like the Forest Pansy redbud.
