Japanese maples need some afternoon protection. Fruit trees such as the Chicago Hardy Fig thrive with proper siting. The moderate cold is enough to satisfy chill-hour requirements for many fruits.

How Washington Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 85747 in Tucson, Arizona (AZ) sits in zone 9a with winter lows of 20 to 25 degrees F. That milder cold allows palms and tropicals to survive. In Washington's zone 7b, your winter lows drop to 5 to 10 degrees, so those plants need protection. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-hardy evergreens and deciduous trees instead of tropical foliage.

ZIP 33157 in Miami, Florida (FL) is in zone 11a with winter lows of 40 to 45 degrees F. Fruit trees like citrus and mango grow unprotected there. In Washington, your colder winters rule out most citrus. For your cart, that means focusing on cold-tolerant fruit such as Chicago Hardy Fig. The fig produces sweet crops even after a hard freeze.

ZIP 56760 in Viking, Minnesota (MN) sits in zone 3b with winter lows of -35 to -30 degrees F. That extreme cold limits flowering trees to the hardiest. Washington's milder zone 7b supports a wider range of bloomers. That gap changes the local shortlist to redbuds, Japanese maples, and other ornamentals that would not survive a Minnesota winter.

For Washington, the contrasts mean you can plant a broader mix of shade, flowering, and fruit trees than in colder or hotter climates, as long as you stick to zone 7b.
