How Hershey Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 57053 in Parker, South Dakota (SD) sits in zone 5a with typical winter lows of -20 to -15 F. The biggest difference is heat and humidity tolerance. In Hershey's humid summers, trees like the Mexican White Oak thrive, while in Parker's drier climate, species more tolerant of aridity would be chosen. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that can handle both moisture and heat.

ZIP 05083 in West Fairlee, Vermont (VT) also falls in zone 5a with lows -20 to -15 F. The practical difference is drought tolerance. Hershey receives more consistent rainfall, so trees with moderate drought tolerance perform well. In West Fairlee, you would lean toward species that can survive longer dry spells because of colder, harsher winters.

ZIP 54946 in King, Wisconsin (WI) shares the same zone 5a and extreme lows. Cold-hardiness becomes the deciding factor. Hershey's milder winters allow a much wider palette, including Japanese maples and the Dwarf Palmetto Palm, neither of which would survive Wisconsin's deep freezes. Locally, that points buyers toward ornamental and palm options that are simply not viable in King.

For buyers in Hershey, the contrast means you can select from a broader palette of trees that would struggle in colder, drier areas, giving you more flexibility in your landscape choices.
