How Kenosha Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 23883 in Surry, Virginia (VA) sits in zone 8a with winter lows of 10 to 15 degrees F. That zone supports palms and tropical-looking specimens that cannot survive a zone 5 winter. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-sensitive ornamentals that you would not attempt in Kenosha. Your zone 5b yard needs species rated for -15 to -10 F instead.

ZIP 37359 in Mulberry, Tennessee (TN) sits in zone 7b with winter lows of 5 to 10 degrees F. That milder climate opens the door to fruit trees and even some cold-hardy citrus varieties that would struggle in zone 5b. For your cart, that means fruit choices in Kenosha narrow to proven performers like the Chicago Hardy Fig. Peaches and apples that need fewer chill hours are not reliable here.

ZIP 75132 in Fate, Texas (TX) sits in zone 8b with winter lows of 15 to 20 degrees F. That warm zone supports a longer flowering season with plants like crape myrtles that bloom for months. That gap changes the local shortlist to cold-tested flowering trees like the Rise 'N Shine Eastern Redbud. You get seasonal color from species that handle a genuine freeze.
