How Wausau Compares to Other Areas

Zone 9a in Mendota, CA (93640) rarely sees temperatures below 20 F. Cold-hardiness is not a factor there. Locally, that points buyers toward species like citrus and palms. In Wausau's zone 4b, those would not survive a single winter. Our selection focuses on trees that tolerate -25 to -20 F lows.

Zone 6a in Gardner, CO (81040) sees winter lows around -10 to -5 F. That is milder than Wausau, but Gardner is arid. The practical difference is that drought tolerance matters more there. In Wausau, moisture is usually sufficient, so you can choose trees that prefer consistent soil moisture without worry.

Zone 6b in Stafford Springs, CT (06076) has lows of -5 to 0 F. It also gets humid summers. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that handle heat and humidity. In Wausau's zone 4b, the cold is the main limitation, not humidity. Our trees are selected for cold hardiness first.
