Price County, Wisconsin (WI) sits in zone 4a with winter lows from -30 to -25 F. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-hardy conifers and deciduous trees like paper birch.

Sublette County, Wyoming (WY) runs zone 4a to 4b with lows -30 to -20 F. For your cart, that means fruit trees and flowering ornamentals are risky.

Grand Isle County, Vermont (VT) spans zone 5a to 5b with lows -20 to -10 F. That gap changes the local shortlist to species that handle cold but not the heat of zone 7.
