How Buffalo Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 75315 in Dallas, Texas (TX) sits in zone 8b with winter lows of 15 to 20 F. That warmth allows Japanese maples to grow without cold stress, but Buffalo's zone 6b with lows to -5 F means only cold-hardy Japanese maples work. In practice, buyers here lean toward laceleaf varieties like Red Dragon that can handle both heat and cold.

ZIP 98348 in La Grande, Washington (WA) also falls in zone 8b, with winter lows 15 to 20 F. That zone can grow citrus trees through winter, which is impossible in Buffalo. That gap changes the local shortlist to hardy fruit trees such as Bing Cherry, which needs a pollinator and tolerates frosts only if protected.

ZIP 70451 in Natalbany, Louisiana (LA) is zone 9a, lows 20 to 25 F. Palms and tropicals survive there year-round. For your cart, that means tropicals are out in Buffalo; instead, focus on hardy evergreens like Blue Point Chinese Juniper and deciduous shade trees. The contrasts show that Buffalo's cold winters limit the species that thrive here, but the variety of trees for zone 6 is still wide and reliable.
