How Wilmer Compares to Other Areas

Your zone 9a in Wilmer is much warmer than many other areas. That changes what trees you can grow.

Compare ZIP 38226 in Dukedom, Tennessee (TN). That area is zone 7b with winter lows 5 to 10 F. Palms and tropicals that survive your 20 F lows would freeze there. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold hardy palms like Windmill Palm, if any at all. Your warmer lows let you grow Dwarf Palmetto Palm and even Cold Hardy Avocado without worry.

Next, ZIP 53002 in Allenton, Wisconsin (WI) sits in zone 5a with winter lows -20 to -15 F. Forget about citrus or avocados. For your cart, that means you have fruit options like Cold Hardy Avocado and Meyer Lemon that simply cannot exist there. Your zone 9a opens the door to avocado, fig, and even citrus with winter protection.

Finally, ZIP 24902 in Fairlea, West Virginia (WV) is zone 6b with winter lows -5 to 0 F. Flowering color is limited there because many crape myrtles and dogwoods need milder winters. That gap changes the local shortlist to only the most cold hardy flowering trees. Here in Wilmer, you can grow White Dogwood, Thunderstruck Coral Boom Crape Myrtle, and many others that bloom reliably.

What does this mean for your cart? You have a wider palette of trees than most of the country. Focus on heat tolerant species and enjoy the variety your zone gives you.
