How Chester County Compares to Other Areas

Chester County's zone 7b gives you a wider tree selection than areas with colder winters. Compare it to three other regions to see the difference.

Bennett County, South Dakota (SD), zone 5a, winter lows -20 to -15 F. The practical difference is that Japanese maples like Bloodgood often fail in Bennett County's deep freezes. Here in Chester County, that same maple thrives with afternoon shade. The winter lows here are about 25 to 30 degrees warmer.

Douglas County, Wisconsin (WI), zone 3b to 4b, winter lows -35 to -20 F. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward extremely cold-hardy conifers. In Chester County, you can grow flowering trees like Forest Pansy Redbud that would not survive a Wisconsin winter. Your cold limit rests near 5 degrees, not 20 below.

Sublette County, Wyoming (WY), zone 4a to 4b, winter lows -30 to -20 F. Locally, that points buyers toward drought-tolerant evergreens. Sublette County has dry cold and little humidity. Chester County offers humid summers and reliable rainfall. That extra moisture lets you grow the Chicago Hardy Fig, which could not handle Sublette's dry freeze.

The contrast is clear: Chester County's moderate winters let you pick from a longer list of shade, fruit, and ornamental trees.
