Here in zone 9, the same peach gets enough chill but also must handle summer heat. For your cart, that means avocados and citrus become viable options that would freeze in Colorado.

South Windsor, Connecticut (ZIP 06074) is zone 6b with -5 to 0 F winter lows. Flowering trees like crape myrtles are often marginal there. In Glendale, Tuscarora Crape Myrtle blooms freely through summer. That gap changes the local shortlist to flowering ornamentals that need less winter cold.
