How Nichols Compares to Other Areas

Zone 6a winters range from -10 to -5°F. That is a middle ground. Compare it to three other climates and see what changes for your tree choices.

ZIP 99350 in Prosser, Washington (WA) sits in zone 7b, with lows of 5 to 10°F. The milder winters there make Japanese maples even easier to grow. In practice, buyers here lean toward Japanese maples for year-round interest, while in Nichols you still get strong results with Sangokaku Coral Bark as long as you avoid afternoon scorch.

ZIP 77225 in Houston, Texas (TX) lands in zone 9b, with lows of 25 to 30°F. That is a tropical environment where palms and subtropicals thrive. For your cart, that means you cannot plant palms or citrus in Nichols. But you gain the cold-hardy fig and robust oaks that would struggle in Houston's heat.

ZIP 57042 in Madison, South Dakota (SD) is zone 4b, with lows of -25 to -20°F. That gap changes the local shortlist to extremely cold-hardy species. In Nichols your fruit options are wider; Elberta Peach and Chicago Hardy Fig both survive winters that would kill trees in Madison.

What does it mean for your cart? Nichols gives you a balanced climate. You can mix shade trees, evergreens, flowering species, and cold-hardy fruit without extreme heat or cold limiting you.
