How Memphis Compares to Other Areas

Tree choices shift depending on your climate. Here is how Memphis compares to three other locations.

ZIP 67028 in Coats, Kansas (KS), zone 6b: typical winter lows -5 to 0 F. Coats gets much colder than Memphis, which rules out Japanese maples that are only hardy to zone 5b. Locally, that points buyers toward redbuds and oaks that can handle the deep freeze. In Memphis, zone 8a lets you plant Orangeola Japanese Maple without worry, as long as you give it afternoon shade.

ZIP 44049 in Kipton, Ohio (OH), zone 6b: typical winter lows -5 to 0 F. The practical difference is cold-hardiness. In Kipton, fruit trees like Chicago Hardy Fig still survive, but you need to protect the graft. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward figs that can take a harder freeze, but in Memphis the fig is a no-brainer. Even without extra care, it produces sweet fruit every year.

ZIP 68147 in Bellevue, Nebraska (NE), zone 6a: typical winter lows -10 to -5 F. Bellevue's winters are even more severe, so drought tolerance matters less than cold survival. In Memphis, the heat and humidity are the bigger challenge. Trees like Thuja Green Giant grow faster here because of the longer growing season and milder lows.

The key takeaway: Memphis's mild winters and warm summers give you a wider palette of trees than colder zones. You can grow Japanese maples, figs, and palms that would struggle up north.
