How Putnam County Compares to Other Areas
Arthur County, Nebraska (NE) sits in zone 5b with winter lows down to -15 to -10 F. That limits Japanese maples and many flowering trees to cold-hardy selections. In Putnam County, zone 7a lets you grow bloodgood and other Japanese maples reliably. For your cart, that means you can choose from more ornamental options year-round.
Stutsman County, North Dakota (ND) falls in zone 4a to 4b, where winter lows can hit -30 to -20 F. The growing season is short, and flowering color like dogwoods is risky. That gap changes the local shortlist to only the hardiest fruit and shade trees. Here in Putnam County, you can plant white dogwood and enjoy spring blooms without the extreme cold risk.
Sullivan County, New Hampshire (NH) spans zones 5a to 6a with winter lows from -20 to -5 F. Privacy and screening options are more limited there because some evergreens struggle. In practice, buyers here lean toward Arborvitae or spruces. In Putnam County, you have more flexibility: you can choose Bald Cypress for wet areas or upright evergreens like Blue Atlas Cedar. These contrasts show that Putnam County's mild zone 7a opens up a wider selection of trees, especially for flowering and Japanese maples, compared to colder regions.
