How Gilbert Compares to Other Areas

Tree choices shift depending on winter cold and season length. Here is how Gilbert stacks up against three other regions.

ZIP 19962 in Magnolia, Delaware (DE) sits in zone 7b with typical winter lows of 5 to 10 F. That gap changes the local shortlist to hardier privacy and screening options like arborvitae rather than the junipers and palms you can use in Gilbert. For your cart, that means you can count on more evergreen variety here.

ZIP 80017 in Aurora, Colorado (CO) is zone 6a with lows down to -10 to -5 F. The colder climate forces a focus on flowering trees that bloom after late frosts. For your cart, that means you can plant Texas Redbud and citrus outdoors without worry. In practice, buyers here lean toward flowering ornamentals that handle heat without a long chill requirement.

ZIP 06701 in Waterbury, Connecticut (CT) is zone 6b with winter lows of -5 to 0 F. Fruit trees like the Meyer Lemon would need indoor protection there. For your cart, that means in Gilbert you can grow lemons in a patio pot or in the ground. In practice, buyers here lean toward citrus and subtropicals that would fail in New England.

What this means for your cart in Gilbert: your mild zone 9b lets you choose from a wider palette of shade, flowering, and fruit trees than cooler regions.
