How Berkshire Compares to Other Areas

In ZIP 29079 in Lydia, South Carolina (SC), winter lows stay around 15 to 20 degrees F, zone 8b. That warmth allows a much wider range of trees than Berkshire can handle.

ZIP 98572 in Pe Ell, Washington (WA) sits in zone 8a with lows of 10 to 15 F. The Pacific Northwest has mild winters but often drier summers than Berkshire.
