Central Midwest Gardening: What zone, 1 by shortleaf

It's just a matter of preference, but I wouldn't use any information from a company that sells plants, (even though they say not for profit). I have noticed nurseries will put out information like zone maps to look more appealing for the sale of they're plants to everybody. Thats just me, I like Arbor Day actually. I've been to they're headquarters in Nebraska City, NE., I've stayed in they're lodge and been to they're greenhouse.
It's a neat place, worthy of a vacation visit.
Even though my zip code says this is zone 6, I consider it 5b myself. I don't set out to buy zone 6 plants, although I have a few that have done okay. I keep the receipts for sure on them!

p.s. Here is they're state park! It's a neat place. Although, I was a little disappointed in the amount of non-native trees there and all around they're headquarters and properties there.
