Lima sits in USDA zone 6a, where winter lows drop to -10 to -5 degrees F. That chill suits oaks, maples, and junipers but rules out most broadleaf evergreens and tropicals. Summers bring humidity and occasional dry spells. For shade, choose oaks and cypress that handle clay soil. For privacy, columnar junipers and hollies stay dense. Flowering picks like crape myrtle and redbud add color without extra care. If you're in Harrod, Lafayette, or Spencerville, the same zone applies.
