How West Palm Beach Compares to Other Areas

Your tree choices in ZIP 33407 are shaped by a warm zone 10b. Compare that to other climates and the list shifts completely.

Take ZIP 22728 in Midland, Virginia (VA). That area is zone 7a with winter lows of 0 to 5 F. Japanese maples, which are borderline in Virginia, would struggle here in West Palm Beach's heat. The warmth that lets you grow sago palms and Mexican sycamores rules out the delicate Japanese maples that Midland gardeners covet. That gap changes the local shortlist to native and adapted heat lovers.

Now look at ZIP 05661 in Morrisville, Vermont (VT). Zone 4b with lows of -25 to -20 F. Privacy and screening options there rely on hardy evergreens like arborvitae and spruce. In your zone, those would cook. Instead you can use Bald Cypress (though deciduous) or broadleaf evergreens for screening. For your cart, that means you skip the northern evergreens and focus on heat-tolerant choices like tropicals and semi-evergreen oaks.

Finally, ZIP 54449 in Marshfield, Wisconsin (WI) is also zone 4b with similar lows. Flowering color there comes from lilacs and spirea. In West Palm Beach, you get crape myrtles that bloom for months. The winter that kills northern flowering shrubs lets your Natchez Crape Myrtle thrive. In practice, buyers here lean toward long-season bloomers rather than fleeting spring color.

What does this mean for your cart? Your zone 10b opens up palms, tropicals, and fast-growing shade trees that would freeze elsewhere. Check what belongs in your yard now.
