Take ZIP 04634 in Franklin, Maine (ME). That area sits in zone 5b with winter lows down to -15 to -10 F. Japanese maples like the Sangokaku Coral Bark Maple, hardy to zone 5b, can survive there, but they face harsher freezes. For your cart, that means you can grow Japanese maples with less worry about winter kill. Many options that are risky in Maine are reliable here.

ZIP 55124 in Saint Paul, Minnesota (MN) falls in zone 5a with lows of -20 to -15 F. Flowering trees like the Thunderstruck Coral Boom Crape Myrtle, which is hardy only to zone 7, would not survive that cold. That gap changes the local shortlist to cold-hardy crape myrtle varieties or other bloomers. Nashville buyers can enjoy that coral crape myrtle without a second thought.

ZIP 59420 in Carter, Montana (MT) sits in zone 4a with winter lows of -30 to -25 F. Privacy evergreens like Little Gem Southern Magnolia, hardy only to zone 7, cannot grow there. In practice, buyers here lean toward pines and hardy junipers. In Nashville, you have the easy choice of broadleaf evergreens like magnolia and redcedar for screening.
