How Harrison County Compares to Other Areas

Alameda County, California (CA) sits in zone 9b to 10b, with winter lows of 25 to 40 degrees F. That warmer climate allows more frost-tender species to thrive year-round. Locally, that points buyers toward trees that can tolerate occasional cold snaps, like Chinese Elm and Shumard Oak, which are more cold-hardy than many options sold in Alameda.

Rio Grande County, Colorado (CO) falls in zone 4b to 5b, with winter lows of -25 to -10 degrees F. The dry cold there is far harsher than Harrison County's. The practical difference is that Harrison County's humidity-friendly trees would not survive a Rio Grande winter. In your yard, you can plant trees that would fail in much colder climates.

Tolland County, Connecticut (CT) is in zone 6a to 6b, with winter lows of -10 to 0 degrees F. Summers there are cooler and less humid than in Harrison County. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that handle heat and humidity, such as Shumard Oak and Italian Cypress, which would struggle with New England's cold winters.

For your yard in Harrison County, focus on species that thrive in zone 8b's warmth and humidity while remaining cold-hardy to 15 degrees F.
