How Silverthorne Compares to Other Areas

Huntington Beach, CA (ZIP 92646) sits in zone 10b with winter lows of 35 to 40 F. There, cold-hardiness is almost irrelevant. Trees that tolerate frost are rarely needed. Locally, that points buyers toward cold-hardy species like junipers and redbuds that survive this area's freezes.

Tifton, GA (ZIP 31793) is in zone 9a with lows of 20 to 25 F. Summers there are hot and humid, so drought tolerance matters more than extreme cold. The practical difference is that Silverthorne's dry, cool air favors trees that can handle drying winds and cold snaps, not humidity.

Orlando, FL (ZIP 32860) is zone 10a with lows of 30 to 35 F. Heat and humidity dominate the selection there. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that can endure -20 to -15 F winters and a short growing season, like the ones on this page.

For buyers in 80498, these contrasts mean that trees suited to mild-winter areas simply won't survive here. Stick with zone 5 selections for a landscape that lasts.
