How Memphis Compares to Other Areas

Japanese maples grow in ZIP 66429 in Grantville, Kansas, zone 6b, with winter lows -5 to 0 F, but they often get leaf scorch in dry heat there. Memphis zone 8a has more heat and humidity. Locally, that points buyers toward heat-tolerant selections like the Merlot Redbud or Emerald Green Arborvitae.

ZIP 58065 in Pillsbury, North Dakota, zone 4a, sees lows -30 to -25 F. That rules out many trees that thrive here. Only the hardiest evergreens survive there. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that need a mild winter. Sago Palm, for example, won't survive in ND but thrives in Memphis.

ZIP 68847 in Kearney, Nebraska, zone 5b, has colder winters and drier summers. Memphis's heat and humidity are a different challenge. The practical difference is that trees like the Merlot Redbud, bred for heat tolerance, do well here but may struggle in Kearney. For Memphis buyers, the key is choosing trees that handle both the mild winters and the humid summers.
