ZIP 17576 in Smoketown, Pennsylvania (PA) sits in zone 7a with winter lows of 0 to 5 F. Japanese maples that thrive in your mild zone 9a may suffer dieback there.

ZIP 57071 in Volga, South Dakota (SD) is zone 4b with lows of -25 to -20 F. Drought tolerance matters less there because moisture is steadier. Here in Oregon City, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that handle dry summers, oaks, crape myrtles, and palms that need less water once established. In Volga, cold hardiness rules everything; in your zone, heat and drought hardiness matter more.

ZIP 37813 in Morristown, Tennessee (TN) is zone 7b with lows of 5 to 10 F. Heat and humidity are similar to Oregon City's summers, but your winters are milder.
