ZIP 80977 in Colorado Springs, Colorado (CO) sits in zone 6a with winter lows of -10 to -5 F. That climate is far drier and colder.

The practical difference is that Panama City's humidity and rain allow trees like the Mexican Plum to thrive without extra irrigation.

Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward cold-hardy fruit trees like the Chicago Hardy Fig, which is equally at home in Panama City but needs less winter protection there.

ZIP 19716 in Newark, Delaware (DE) is zone 7b with lows of 5 to 10 F. Winters are cold enough to limit some southern favorites. Locally, that points buyers toward trees that tolerate frost, like the sago palm, which needs protection in Delaware but thrives in Panama City's mild winters.
