ZIP 84601 in Provo, Utah (UT) is in zone 7a with winter lows 0 to 5 F. That cold limits fruit tree choices; many citrus and subtropical fruits cannot survive. In practice, buyers there lean toward cold-hardy apples and pears. In your zone 9b, you can grow avocados and other borderline fruits that would freeze in Provo.

ZIP 22577 in Sandy Point, Virginia (VA) is in zone 8a with lows 10 to 15 F. Palms struggle there; only the hardiest species survive.
