How Gouverneur Compares to Other Areas

Greenville, Rhode Island (ZIP 02828) sits in zone 6b with winter lows of -5 to 0 F. That zone supports Japanese maples, which need a milder winter than Gouverneur provides.

Locally, that points buyers toward trees better suited to zone 4 cold, like Chinkapin Oak and Eastern Redcedar, which handle deep freezes.

Ehrhardt, South Carolina (ZIP 29081) experiences winter lows of 15 to 20 F in zone 8b, meaning trees never face the bitter cold Gouverneur gets.

Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that need a period of winter chill, but for Gouverneur, the selection focuses on species that survive -20 F.

Staunton, Virginia (ZIP 24401) is zone 7a with winter lows of 0 to 5 F, and summers are hotter and more humid than in St. Lawrence County.

The practical difference is that trees here need some heat tolerance, while in Gouverneur, the bigger challenge is the deep cold and short growing season.

For your yard in ZIP 13642, the contrast means choosing trees that are proven zone 4 performers rather than trying borderline species.
