How Fort Mill Compares to Other Areas
ZIP 01742 in Concord, Massachusetts (MA) sits in zone 6b with winter lows down to -5 to 0 F. Japanese maples need to survive colder winters. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-hardy varieties like Emperor 1 or Seiryu. That limits the ornamental palette.
ZIP 04336 in Augusta, Maine (ME) is zone 5b. Winters hit -15 to -10 F. Palms and tropicals are not an option outdoors. For your cart, that means full reliance on cold-hardy evergreens for winter interest.
ZIP 49922 in Dollar Bay, Michigan (MI) also in zone 5b with lows -15 to -10 F. Citrus cannot survive outside. That gap changes the local shortlist to only cold-hardy fruits like apples with chill hours.
In ZIP 29708, you can grow Japanese maples with afternoon shade, enjoy palms with frost protection, and harvest Meyer Lemon indoors or with cover. The contrasts mean your cart can include a wider range of trees than those in colder zones.
