Shade trees, flowering ornamentals, and Japanese maples all do well here.

How Lowell Compares to Other Areas
Consider ZIP 66601 in Topeka, Kansas (KS) in zone 6b with winter lows of -5 to 0 F. That zone is much colder than Lowell's 8a. Temperatures there rule out many of the palms and crape myrtles you can grow locally. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward cold-hardy species like oaks and maples that can survive those deep freezes.
Look at ZIP 52224 in Dysart, Iowa (IA) in zone 5a with lows -20 to -15 F. That is even colder and drier. The practical difference is that heat and humidity tolerance is not a factor there, while in Lowell summer heat and humidity are the main challenge. Trees like crape myrtles and Japanese maples that love moisture would struggle in that Iowa climate without extra care.
Now ZIP 83446 in Spencer, Idaho (ID) in zone 5b with lows -15 to -10 F. That area is arid and cold. Locally, that points buyers toward drought-tolerant evergreens and away from the moisture-loving species you can enjoy here. In Lowell, you have more flexibility to choose trees that appreciate both rain and sun.
What this means for your cart: Lowell's mild winters and humid summers let you pick from a broader palette than buyers in much colder or drier zones can. Stick with zone 8a picks, and your trees will settle in with less risk.
