How Marathon Compares to Other Areas

Zone 11b gives Marathon a unique set of tree options. To see what that means, look at how it differs from three other ZIPs.

First, consider cold-hardiness. In ZIP 29676 in Salem, South Carolina (SC), winter lows hit 10 to 15 degrees F in zone 8a. That rules out tropicals and many palms. Locally, that points buyers toward cold-tolerant choices like the Mexican White Oak and Jelly Palm that shrug off Marathon's 45-degree nights.

Next, heat and humidity tolerance. ZIP 57035 in Humboldt, South Dakota (SD) is zone 4b with winter lows of -25 to -20 F. Summers there are dry and short. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward palms and tropicals that love the muggy heat. Trees like the Pygmy Date Palm and Chinese Windmill Palm thrive where a South Dakota yard would need hardy deciduous species.

Finally, drought tolerance. ZIP 15137 in North Versailles, Pennsylvania (PA) sits in zone 6b with winter lows -5 to 0 F. Summers are humid but not as intense. The practical difference is that in Marathon's warm, wet season, you can grow fruit trees like Meyer Lemon and Cold Hardy Avocado that would not survive Pennsylvania's cold winters. Drought isn't a major concern here compared to those areas.

What this means for your cart: choose trees that love warmth and humidity, and skip anything that needs cold dormancy. Marathon's zone lets you grow palms, tropicals, and heat-loving fruit trees that other parts of the country can't.
