ZIP 37846 in Philadelphia, Tennessee (TN) sits in zone 7b, with winter lows of 5 to 10 F. That is a solid 15 degrees colder than Mobile. The colder winters limit palms and tropicals. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-hardy evergreens and deciduous shade trees. For your cart, that means you can grow sago palm and windmill palm here, while Tennessee cannot.

ZIP 54983 in Weyauwega, Wisconsin (WI) is zone 5a, with winter lows of -20 to -15 F. That kills most fruit and citrus trees outright.

ZIP 26039 in Glen Easton, West Virginia (WV) is zone 6b, with winter lows of -5 to 0 F. Those winters are harsh on flowering trees like eastern redbud. Your zone 9a supports redbuds, crape myrtles, and magnolias without a second thought. That gap changes the local shortlist to include more warm-climate ornamentals. Your Mobile yard can rely showy blooms that northern buyers must coax along.

What these contrasts mean for you: your zone 9a allows tropicals, fruit, and long-blooming ornamentals that colder zones struggle with. Focus on heat-loving species, and your trees will thrive.
