Christmas palm and jelly palm handle full sun and the occasional dry spell. Shade trees like Mexican white oak and Mexican sycamore appreciate the long growing season that zone 12b provides.

How Honolulu Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 16154 in Transfer, Pennsylvania (PA) sits in zone 6a with winter lows reaching -10 to -5 degrees F. That cold rules out most palms and tropicals. Japanese maples thrive there but would not survive zone 12b's warmth. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that handle heat and humidity, not winter freezes.

ZIP 38182 in Memphis, Tennessee (TN) is zone 8a with lows of 10 to 15 degrees F. Both Memphis and Honolulu experience humid summers, but Memphis gets occasional snow. The practical difference is that trees like Mexican sycamore and Chinese windmill palm thrive in both, while avocados need the milder Honolulu winter to fruit.

ZIP 76955 in Vancourt, Texas (TX) is also zone 8a with lows of 10 to 15 degrees F. That part of Texas is much drier than Honolulu. Locally, that points buyers toward trees that tolerate humidity and regular rain, such as the Christmas palm and jelly palm, which would need irrigation in Texas.

For Honolulu, the contrasts show that your choice leans toward tropical and subtropical species that enjoy warmth, humidity, and no real winter chill.
