A buyer in ZIP 29492, Charleston, South Carolina (SC) deals with zone 9a. Winter lows there barely reach 20 to 25 F. Heat and drought shape the tree choices. The practical difference is shade trees there must tolerate intense sun and sandy soil. In Grand Isle, the same category needs cold hardiness first.
