How Lakewood Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 58844 in Fortuna, North Dakota (ND) sits in zone 3b with winter lows down to -35 to -30 F. That climate rules out Japanese maples entirely. That gap changes the local shortlist to only the hardiest evergreens. For your cart, that means zone 7 opens up a huge range of Japanese maples you can enjoy here.

ZIP 68821 in Brewster, Nebraska (NE) is zone 5a with lows -20 to -15 F. Those conditions limit broadleaf evergreens like Southern Magnolia. For your cart, that means broadleaf evergreens like the D.D. Blanchard Magnolia are viable here in Lakewood's milder zone 7a.

ZIP 03883 in South Tamworth, New Hampshire (NH) also falls in zone 5a. That cold prevents early-blooming trees like redbuds from thriving. In practice, buyers here lean toward later-blooming species. For your yard, that means you can plant Merlot Redbud and other early bloomers that would freeze in New Hampshire, giving you earlier spring color.

The main takeaway: zone 7a broadens your tree selection compared to many other regions, especially for flowering and privacy options.
