ZIP 39773 in West Point, Mississippi (MS) is zone 8a, with lows only 10 to 15 F. Flowering trees bloom earlier there, and many southern favorites are winter hardy. That gap changes the local shortlist to: in Elk Garden, stick with cold-hardy flowering trees like redbuds and crabapples rather than zone 8 specialties.
