In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-hardy evergreens and deciduous trees instead. Your Crestview zone 8b allows for palms and tropicals as long as they get winter protection.

ZIP 55372 in Prior Lake, Minnesota (MN) drops to zone 4b with lows of -25 to -20 F. Citrus trees like Meyer Lemon cannot survive there. Even cold-hardy figs need heavy mulching.

ZIP 64156 in Kansas City, Missouri (MO) is zone 6a with lows -10 to -5. Flowering trees like White Dogwood bloom but may suffer late frosts. Mild Crestview winters give a longer bloom window.
