How Higgins Compares to Other Areas

Seeing how zone 7a stacks up against other climates helps you understand what works here.

ZIP 51561 in Pacific Junction, Iowa (IA) is zone 5b with winter lows -15 to -10 F. That cold limits many trees you can grow in Higgins. Japanese maples, for example, are marginal in zone 5b; some survive but risk winter damage. Locally, that points buyers toward hardier selections like teddy bear magnolia or dwarf palmetto palm that breeze through zone 7a winters.

ZIP 71018 in Cotton Valley, Louisiana (LA) sits in zone 8b with lows 15 to 20 F. That is warmer than Higgins. Trees like southern magnolia and crape myrtles are common there. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that can handle a colder winter snap. Elberta peach, which needs substantial chill, actually performs better in Higgins than in mild Louisiana winters.

ZIP 04217 in Bethel, Maine (ME) is zone 5a with lows -20 to -15 F. That climate is far harsher. Many of the trees we offer in Higgins would not survive there. The practical difference is that Higgins can grow a wider mix of flowering and fruit trees. In Bethel, you would rely on hardy evergreens and cold-tolerant oaks.

What this means for you: Higgins's zone 7a gives you a broad range of choices. You can grow fruit, flowering, and evergreen trees that would struggle in colder or warmer climates.
