How Wexford Compares to Other Areas

Tree choices shift when you compare Wexford's climate with other regions. ZIP 98416 in Tacoma, Washington (WA) sits in zone 8b with winter lows of 15 to 20 F. That warmer zone allows a wider selection of evergreen privacy screens, including many broadleaf evergreens that struggle in Wexford's colder winters. That gap changes the local shortlist to hardier evergreens like Oakland Southern Living Holly and needled conifers.

ZIP 57049 in North Sioux City, South Dakota (SD) is zone 5a with winter lows of -20 to -15 F. Their colder winters rule out many flowering trees that Wexford enjoys, such as Tuscarora Crape Myrtle. For your cart, that means you can confidently add crape myrtle and other zone 6 ornamentals that would not survive in South Dakota.

ZIP 29802 in Aiken, South Carolina (SC) also sits in zone 8b with winter lows of 15 to 20 F. There, fruit trees like Elberta Peach require fewer chill hours than Wexford provides, but Aiken's mild winters allow citrus and other tender fruits. In practice, buyers here lean toward fruit varieties that match our chill accumulation, like Elberta Peach, which needs about 800 chill hours perfectly in line with Wexford's typical winter.

These contrasts confirm that Wexford's zone 6b is a sweet spot: cold enough for classic apples and peaches, yet warm enough for Japanese maples and crape myrtles.
