How Rochester Compares to Other Areas

Tree selection shifts with climate. Here is how Rochester compares to three other places across the country.

In ZIP 97071 in Woodburn, Oregon (OR), the zone is 8b with winter lows of 15 to 20 F. That warmer climate allows Japanese maples to grow with less risk of leaf scorch from dry heat. Locally, that points buyers toward Emperor 1 Japanese Maple for Rochester, but with the advice to site it in partial shade to avoid stress from summer sun.

ZIP 58367 in Rolla, North Dakota (ND) sits in zone 3b with lows of -35 to -30 F. That extreme cold limits options to only the hardiest trees. The practical difference is that Rochester's milder 6b winters let you grow crape myrtles and hollies that would not survive ND's deep freeze, so your palette is much broader.

ZIP 27104 in Winston Salem, North Carolina (NC) is zone 8a with winter lows of 10 to 15 F. There, drought tolerance matters more because summers are hotter and drier. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that can handle Rochester's cold without worrying about drought as much. Your shade and fruit trees do well with normal rainfall.

For buyers in Rochester, the bottom line is that your zone 6b climate is temperate enough to grow a variety of trees, from evergreens to Japanese maples, as long as you pick species rated for winter lows near zero.
