How Orlando Compares to Other Areas

Orlando's zone 10a climate differs sharply from many parts of the country. For example, ZIP 67213 in Wichita, Kansas (KS) sits in zone 7a with winter lows of 0 to 5 F. That climate rules out most palms and citrus without heavy protection. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward cold-hardy oaks and maples rather than tropicals. Japanese maples, for instance, struggle in Orlando's heat but thrive in Wichita's cooler summers.

ZIP 41772 in Vest, Kentucky (KY) also falls in zone 7a with lows of 0 to 5 F. The practical difference is humidity: Orlando's high humidity supports palms and crape myrtles that would suffer from powdery mildew in Kentucky. Locally, that points buyers toward heat- and humidity-tolerant trees like Natchez Crape Myrtle.

ZIP 50842 in Cromwell, Iowa (IA) is zone 5b with winter lows of -15 to -10 F. Drought tolerance matters more there than in Florida, but in Orlando the challenge is wet and humid periods. Many trees that survive Iowa's dry cold cannot take our summer rains. For you in Orlando, the contrast means focusing on trees that thrive in warm, moist conditions and handle occasional cold snaps above 25 F. Your best bets are the featured species that already grow well in zone 10.
