How Long Island City Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 57241 in Hayti, South Dakota (SD) sees winter lows of -25 to -20 F, which leaves most Japanese maples at risk. Long Island City's zone 7b offers milder winters, letting Japanese maples thrive with minimal protection. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward cold-hardy varieties like Emperor 1 and Seiryu.

ZIP 05827 in Craftsbury Common, Vermont (VT) has extreme cold but short, cool summers. Long Island City's hot, humid summers favor trees such as crape myrtles that flourish in warmth. The practical difference is that zone 7b supports species needing longer growing seasons.
