How Brooklyn Compares to Other Areas

Brooklyn's zone 7b lets you grow a wide variety of trees that would struggle in colder climates. Here is how it stacks up against three other places.

ZIP 51549 in Macedonia, Iowa (IA) zone 5b, winter lows -15 to -10 F. That cold rules out many Japanese maples. Red Dragon Japanese Laceleaf Maple, hardy to zone 5, might survive there but would face more stress. The practical difference is that in Brooklyn you can plant that maple without worrying about hard freezes killing the roots. Japanese maples are a solid pick here.

ZIP 04570 in Squirrel Island, Maine (ME) zone 6a, winter lows -10 to -5 F. Maine's climate is drier in summer, so drought tolerance matters less. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that handle brief dry spells. In Brooklyn, humidity is higher. Trees like Mexican White Oak and White Dogwood manage that humidity fine, while some oaks from drier zones might not.

ZIP 55784 in Swan River, Minnesota (MN) zone 4a, winter lows -30 to -25 F. That extreme cold limits tree choices to only the hardiest species. Locally, that points buyers toward evergreens like Skyrocket Juniper, which is zone 4 hardy. In Brooklyn, you have far more options: you can grow Chicago Hardy Fig, Oakleaf Red Holly, and even some fruit trees that would not survive a Minnesota winter.

For you in Brooklyn, the contrasts mean you can pick from a much bigger catalog. Your zone gives you shade, flowering, fruit, and Japanese maples that would be risky or impossible in colder areas.
