How Highland Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 97009 in Boring, Oregon (OR) sits in zone 8b with winter lows around 15 to 20 degrees. That milder climate allows a broader range of Japanese maples, including less cold-hardy varieties. In practice, buyers here lean toward Emperor 1 and Bloodgood Japanese Maples, which handle the warmer winters without issue. For Highland, choose Crimson Queen Japanese Laceleaf Maple for cold hardiness and provide afternoon shade to prevent leaf scorch in summer.

ZIP 28312 in Fayetteville, North Carolina (NC) is also zone 8b with lows of 15 to 20 degrees. That zone supports palms and some tropical plants outdoors. For your cart, that means Fayetteville gardeners can plant windmill palms and other zone 8 tropicals. In Highland, palms need indoor winter protection. Stick with cold-hardy trees like Skyrocket Juniper and Chicago Hardy Fig.

ZIP 58730 in Crosby, North Dakota (ND) drops to zone 4a with winter lows between -30 and -25 degrees. That gap changes the local shortlist to trees that survive extreme cold, like Bur Oak and some native spruces. Fruit choices narrow to the toughest apples. In Highland, your zone 6b allows a much wider fruit selection, including Chicago Hardy Fig and cold-hardy apple varieties.

For your Highland yard, choose trees that balance cold winters and warm summers; the featured six are solid starting points.
