In practice, buyers here lean toward hardy evergreens and cold-tolerant shade trees. In San Luis Obispo, zone 9b allows palms like Mediterranean Fan Palm to thrive year-round. You can add tropical accents without worry.

ZIP 81428 in Paonia, Colorado (CO) is zone 6b with winter lows of -5 to 0 degrees F. Fruit trees struggle there without heavy protection.

ZIP 06801 in Bethel, Connecticut (CT) also falls in zone 6b with lows of -5 to 0 degrees F. Long winters limit flowering trees to short bloom windows.
