Trees for Zone 6 in Cincinnati
Your Cincinnati home sits in USDA hardiness zone 6b, where winter lows run about -5 to 0 degrees Fahrenheit. That cold allows a wide selection of deciduous trees, cold-hardy evergreens, and many flowering ornamentals. It's too cool for citrus or tropicals, but Japanese maples, redbuds, and birches perform well.
Summers are humid with occasional dry spells. Trees that tolerate humidity, like the Dura Heat River Birch, handle the local climate well. If you have heavy clay soil, choose species that adapt, such as the Pond Cypress or Forest Pansy Eastern Redbud. For areas near the Ohio River or in low-lying parts of the ZIP, be mindful of drainage.
Other places in Hamilton County like Hooven, Cleves, Camp Dennison, Miamitown, and Mount Saint Joseph share a similar zone, so trees for zone 6 in Cincinnati also suit those areas.

How Cincinnati Compares to Other Areas
ZIP 55325 in Dassel, Minnesota (MN) sits in zone 4b with winter lows -25 to -20 F. That is much colder than Cincinnati's zone 6b. Japanese maples like Crimson Queen face winter dieback risk in Dassel. In practice, buyers here lean toward extra-hardy birch and spruce varieties. For your cart, that means the Japanese maples you can plant in Cincinnati would not survive a Minnesota winter.
ZIP 38704 in Greenville, Mississippi (MS) belongs to zone 8b with winter lows 15 to 20 F. That gap changes the local shortlist to include citrus and many evergreens that cannot handle Cincinnati's cold. Fruit trees like the Bing Cherry need enough chill hours, but Greenville's mild winters can reduce fruit set. For your cart, that means you can grow cherries here, but a Mississippi buyer cannot.
ZIP 59001 in Absarokee, Montana (MT) is zone 5a with winter lows -20 to -15 F. Palms and tropicals are impossible there, and even hardy figs need protection. For your cart, that means the cold-hardy fruit and shade trees you buy for Cincinnati are a reliable choice that a Montana yard would find borderline.
Those contrasts show that Cincinnati's zone 6b gives you a broad range of deciduous trees, Japanese maples, and sweet cherries that are not viable in colder or warmer areas.
