ZIP 98243 in Deer Harbor, Washington (WA) sits in zone 9a with winter lows of 20 to 25 degrees F. That warmer, maritime climate allows a much wider range of subtropical screening plants, like evergreen magnolias and camellias.

ZIP 57278 in Willow Lake, South Dakota (SD) is zone 4b with lows of -25 to -20 F. Those brutal winters rule out many flowering trees that Castalia can handle. For your cart, that means: Castalia's zone 6b opens the door to flowering redbuds, dogwoods, and even certain peaches, whereas Willow Lake buyers must stick with super-hardy natives like crabapples or serviceberries.

ZIP 29334 in Duncan, South Carolina (SC) is zone 8a with lows of 10 to 15 degrees F. That warmer zone supports citrus and other semi-tropical fruit trees that would not survive Castalia's winter. In practice, buyers here lean toward: Castalia's fruit options are limited to temperate species like peaches and apples that need sufficient chill hours, while Duncan can consider figs and satsumas. The bottom line for Castalia: your zone gives you a solid range of cold-hardy shade, flowering, and fruit trees that won't survive in colder or warmer areas.
