How Richmond Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 20535 in Washington, District of Columbia (DC) sits in zone 8a with winter lows around 10 to 15 F. That is a full two zones colder than Richmond. In practice, buyers here lean toward hardy fruit and citrus options because they need winter protection for most citrus. Richmond's mild winters let you plant Arbequina Olive and Meyer Lemon without frost cloth. For Richmond, fruit trees are an easy, low-risk addition.

ZIP 19714 in Newark, Delaware (DE) is zone 7b with lows of 5 to 10 F. That gap changes the local shortlist to palms and tropicals. Delaware homeowners cannot grow Pygmy Date Palm or Queen Sago outside without heavy winter protection. In Richmond, those same palms thrive year-round in the ground. Your tropical options are wide open.

ZIP 35448 in Clinton, Alabama (AL) is zone 8b with lows of 15 to 20 F. For your cart, that means privacy and screening trees in Clinton need more cold-hardy choices like Leyland Cypress, which can handle the occasional deeper freeze.
