How McLean County Compares to Other Areas
King and Queen County, Virginia (VA) sits in zone 7b with winter lows of 5 to 10 F. That climate supports Japanese maples and other semi-hardy ornamentals. McLean County's zone 4a is too cold for most Japanese maples. For your cart, that means you should skip those and choose cold-hardy alternatives like redbud or wisteria.
Washington County, Utah (UT) spans zones 6b to 8b with winter lows from -5 to 20 F. Its warmer winters allow a longer bloom season for flowering trees like crape myrtle or cherry plum. That gap changes the local shortlist to: in McLean County, focus on early-spring bloomers like Eastern Redbud or apple blossoms that fit your shorter growing season.
King County, Washington (WA) enjoys zone 8b to 9a with winter lows of 15 to 25 F. Mild winters there support broadleaf evergreens for year-round screening. In practice, buyers here lean toward needle evergreens like Hetzii Columnaris Chinese Juniper or arborvitae that handle McLean County's cold better than broadleaf options.
These comparisons show that McLean County's zone 4a climate narrows your choices to hardy, proven performers. Stick with trees rated for zone 4 or colder.
