How San Diego Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 20250 in Washington, District of Columbia (DC) sits in zone 8a with winter lows of 10 to 15 degrees F. That cold limits palms and tropicals to containers or indoor overwintering. In San Diego, palms like the Mediterranean Fan Palm grow in the ground year-round. In practice, buyers here lean toward frost-hardy evergreens and avoid tender tropicals.

ZIP 19890 in Wilmington, Delaware (DE) is zone 7b with lows of 5 to 10 degrees F. Citrus and tender fruit trees cannot survive outdoors there. San Diego's zone 10b means you can grow figs and even some citrus directly in the yard. For your cart, that means fruit trees are a practical addition, not a gamble.

ZIP 36529 in Deer Park, Alabama (AL) is zone 8b with lows of 15 to 20 degrees F. Flowering trees like Desert Willow may lose their blooms to late frosts. San Diego's mild winters let Desert Willow flower from summer through fall without interruption. That gap changes the local shortlist to include more flowering ornamentals.

What this means for your cart in San Diego: you can confidently choose palms, fruit trees, and flowering ornamentals that would struggle in colder zones.
