Trees for Zone 10 in Phoenix

How Phoenix Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 20010 in Washington, District of Columbia (DC) sits in zone 7b with winter lows 5 to 10 F. That colder climate limits palms and tropicals. In practice, buyers here lean toward hardy evergreens and deciduous shade trees instead. Your zone 10a allows palms like Jelly Palm and tropicals year-round.

For ZIP 85045, the contrast shows that mild winters and hot summers diversify the tree palette. You can grow palms, tropicals, fruit, and flowering trees that would need protection elsewhere.
