How Felton Compares to Other Areas

Tree choices shift when you compare Felton's zone 9b climate to colder or warmer regions. Here is how three other ZIPs differ.

ZIP 81327 in Lewis, Colorado (CO) sits in zone 6b with winter lows of -5 to 0 F. That is a 30-degree colder winter than Felton. Most subtropical trees, including crape myrtles and olives, cannot survive there. Buyers in Lewis rely on conifers and hardy deciduous trees. Locally, that points buyers toward cold-sensitive species like the Mediterranean Fan Palm or Cold Hardy Avocado, which would fail in Colorado.

ZIP 06143 in Hartford, Connecticut (CT) is also zone 6b, with winter lows of -5 to 0 F. Summers there are humid, but the brief growing season limits options. Flowering trees like crape myrtle need long summers to bloom, so Hartford gardeners often choose different ornamentals. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward heat-loving and long-season trees like crape myrtles and olives, which perform well in Felton's mild seasons.

ZIP 19956 in Laurel, Delaware (DE) is zone 7b with lows of 5 to 10 F. That is still colder than Felton but milder than Colorado or Connecticut. Laurel can grow some southern magnolias and hollies, but fruit trees like cold-hardy avocado and olive require more warmth. The practical difference is that Felton growers can plant almost any subtropical fruit tree, while Laurel gardeners must stick with hardier selections.

For Felton buyers, the contrast is clear: your mild zone 9b allows a wider range of trees, especially fruit and subtropical species, than most of the country can support.
