How Nineveh Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 98256 in Index, Washington (WA) is in zone 8a, with winter lows of 10 to 15 F. That zone is warmer than 5b, so spring comes earlier and frosts are less severe. For your cart, that means flowering trees like redbud and cherry plum have a longer bloom season there, while in your area you choose cold-tolerant varieties that can handle late frosts.

ZIP 22118 in Merrifield, Virginia (VA) sits in zone 7b with lows of 5 to 10 F. That warmer climate allows for a wider range of evergreen privacy options, including some that might be borderline in zone 5. That gap changes the local shortlist to hardier evergreens like Eastern Redcedar and Arborvitae as the main screening choices for your yard.

ZIP 29073 in Lexington, South Carolina (SC) is zone 8b, lows 15 to 20 F. That zone supports palms and other tropical-looking plants that you cannot grow in zone 5.
