How San Antonio Compares to Other Areas
ZIP 57239 in Grenville, South Dakota (SD) lies in zone 4b with winter lows of -25 to -20 degrees Fahrenheit. That zone limits tree choices to the most cold-hardy species.
Locally, that points buyers toward trees that can handle extreme cold but may struggle in San Antonio's mild winters. For your yard, the focus is on heat tolerance, not deep freeze.
ZIP 02824 in Forestdale, Rhode Island (RI) sits in zone 6b with winter lows of -5 to 0 degrees. The climate there is humid and cooler, with less drought stress than Texas.
The practical difference is that trees in your area need to withstand long dry periods. So drought-tolerant picks like Pink Dawn Chitalpa are natural fits here.
ZIP 54514 in Butternut, Wisconsin (WI) is zone 4a with winter lows of -30 to -25 degrees. That zone sees harsh winters and short summers, limiting heat-loving plants.
Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward plants that can survive intense cold. In your climate, summer heat and humidity are the bigger challenges, so trees like the Chinese Windmill Palm need some shade.
For your yard, the main concern is choosing trees that thrive in heat and mild winters, not extreme cold.
