How Arlington Compares to Other Areas

Understanding how Arlington's climate differs from other regions helps you choose trees that will thrive. We look at three locations to highlight the contrasts.

ZIP 57756 in Manderson, South Dakota (SD) sits in zone 5a with winter lows of -20 to -15 F. That extreme cold kills many trees that grow well in Arlington. Japanese maples, for instance, struggle in Manderson because they are hardy only to about zone 5b. Locally, that points buyers toward cold-hardy natives like Bur Oak and Taylor Eastern Red Cedar, which handle both zones.

ZIP 05448 in East Fairfield, Vermont (VT) is also zone 5a with similar winter lows. The practical difference is that Vermont's short growing season limits options for late-blooming trees and fruit trees like the Elberta Peach, which needs a long warm season to ripen fruit. Here, Arlington's longer, warmer season allows peaches to mature fully, while Vermont growers would need cold-hardy apples.

ZIP 84606 in Provo, Utah (UT) sits in zone 7a with winter lows of 0 to 5 F. Provo is colder than Arlington but not as extreme as Manderson. Provo's dry climate and low humidity cause drought stress for some trees. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward species that tolerate dry air, such as the American Sycamore. Arlington's higher humidity and summer rain mean you can choose trees that prefer moist conditions.

For Arlington buyers, these contrasts mean your zone 8b gives you flexibility. You can grow many trees that fail in colder or drier regions, but you should consider heat and humidity tolerance.
