In Kenyon, Rhode Island (ZIP 02836), zone 7a brings winter lows of 0 to 5 degrees F, roughly 15 degrees warmer than Madison's typical lows. That zone allows less cold-hardy trees like crape myrtles to thrive without winter worry. Locally, that points buyers toward cold-tested choices like the Chicago Hardy Fig, which can bounce back from a hard freeze.

In Parksville, South Carolina (ZIP 29844), zone 8b sees winter lows of 15 to 20 degrees F, much milder than Madison. Summers there are hotter and more humid, so drought tolerance matters more. The practical difference is that Madison trees need cold hardiness first, while Parksville trees need heat and humidity tolerance. So species like the Allee Chinese Elm, which handles both cold and drought, are versatile here.

In Montebello, Virginia (ZIP 24464), zone 7a again with winter lows 0 to 5 degrees F, but summer humidity is higher than in Madison. That moisture stress can cause disease in some trees.
