How Bothell Compares to Other Areas

Seeing how your climate stacks up against other regions helps you choose the right trees for your yard.

ZIP 53716 in Madison, Wisconsin (WI) sits in zone 5b with winter lows of -15 to -10 F. That is far colder than Bothell. Japanese maples like the Bloodgood barely survive there without heavy protection. For your cart, that means you can plant Bloodgood and other Japanese maples without extra winter work. In Madison, buyers often pass on them and pick cold-hardy oaks or pines instead.

ZIP 83001 in Jackson, Wyoming (WY) is zone 4b with lows of -25 to -20 F. Flowering trees like the White Dogwood cannot take that cold. That gap changes the local shortlist to species like quaking aspen or paper birch, which flower differently. In Bothell, you get the full spring bloom of dogwoods and magnolias without the risk of bud kill.

ZIP 26037 in Follansbee, West Virginia (WV) is zone 6b with lows -5 to 0 F. Privacy screening options there lean toward arborvitae and holly. In practice, buyers here lean toward the Carolina Sapphire Cypress for quick, drought-resistant screens. Bothell's warmer winters also allow evergreen magnolias like Little Gem, which would struggle in a zone 6 winter.

What these contrasts mean for your cart in Bothell: you have a wider palette of flowering and tropical options than cold-zone buyers. Stick with the zone-matched species on our list and your tree will settle in quickly.
