How Bakersfield Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 37620 in Bristol, Tennessee (TN) sits in zone 7a with winter lows 0 to 5°F. That climate suits Japanese maples, which need cold dormancy. In practice, buyers here lean toward Japanese maples for fall color. Locally, zone 9b is too warm for reliable Japanese maple growth, so Bakersfield buyers choose crape myrtles instead.

ZIP 54929 in Clintonville, Wisconsin (WI) is zone 5a with lows -20 to -15°F. Palms and tropicals cannot survive outdoors there. For your cart, that means tropical plants are only possible as indoor or seasonal patio pots. In Bakersfield, you can grow Mediterranean Fan Palm and Meyer Lemon in the ground with occasional frost protection.

ZIP 82524 in Saint Stephens, Wyoming (WY) is zone 4b with lows -25 to -20°F. Citrus and many fruit trees cannot survive those cold winters. That gap changes the local shortlist to cold-hardy apples and pears. Here in zone 9b, Meyer Lemon and other citrus grow well in ground or patio pots. For your yard in 93307, the contrast means you can grow a much wider range of fruit and tropical trees than buyers in colder zones.
