How Hot Springs Compares to Other Areas

Tree choices change with climate. Here is how Hot Springs stacks up against three other ZIP codes.

ZIP 29479 in Saint Stephen, South Carolina (SC) sits in zone 8b, with typical winter lows of 15 to 20 F. That warmer zone can grow citrus and palms, but it also brings high humidity and long summers. Locally, that points buyers toward trees that handle both heat and humidity, like crape myrtles. Here in zone 5a, the cold eliminates many of those options, pushing you toward cold-hardy oaks, maples, and junipers.

ZIP 02806 in Barrington, Rhode Island (RI) is zone 7a, with winter lows from 0 to 5 F. That is still colder than Saint Stephen but warmer than Hot Springs. Barrington gets plenty of winter chill but also maritime influence that moderates extremes. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that can take dry cold snaps without wind protection. For Hot Springs, the colder winters mean you want varieties with solid zone 5 hardiness, like Bur Oak or Spartan Juniper.

ZIP 98280 in Orcas, Washington (WA) is zone 9a, with winter lows from 20 to 25 F. That is a mild maritime climate, often wet and overcast. The practical difference is that zone 9 can grow nearly any evergreen and many subtropicals. In Hot Springs, the brutal cold rules those out. The climate here favors deciduous trees that go dormant and evergreens bred for cold tolerance.

What does this mean for your cart? Stick with trees that have a proven track record in zone 5a. The six featured above are a solid starting point.
