ZIP 73093 in Washington, Oklahoma (OK) sits in zone 7b, where lows stay above 5 degrees F. Cold-hardiness is less of a concern there, so trees like Brodie Eastern Red Cedar are chosen more for drought than winter endurance.

ZIP 97064 in Vernonia, Oregon (OR) is zone 8a with lows around 10 to 15 degrees F. That region experiences dry summers and mild wet winters, so drought tolerance becomes a major factor for trees like the Chinkapin Oak.
