Zone 5A — Cool-Humid. Ottumwa trees live in derecho country — Iowa's straight-line windstorms are a defining risk, and storm-damaged limbs are the emergency work of most summers. The other regional reality is the emerald ash borer, which has been confirmed across Iowa and is steadily killing untreated ash trees. Dormant-season pruning (late winter) remains the healthiest schedule for most species in Wapello County.
