How Union Compares to Other Areas

In Orlando (ZIP 32808 in Orlando, Florida (FL)), zone 10a means winter lows rarely drop below 30 degrees. Buyers there choose broadleaf evergreens for privacy all year. That gap changes the local shortlist to trees that stay green through mild winters. In Union, your winters are much colder, so you rely on conifers like junipers and arborvitae that tolerate zone 5b.

Brunswick, Georgia (ZIP 31521 in Brunswick, Georgia (GA)) enjoys zone 9a with lows around 20 degrees. Flowering trees like crape myrtles and magnolias bloom freely there. For your cart, that means Union's zone 5b limits your flowering palette to hardier choices like Eastern Redbud and certain crabapples, but these still give you early spring color.

Washington, DC (ZIP 20036 in Washington, District of Columbia (DC)) sits in zone 8a with winter lows of 10 to 15 degrees. Gardeners there can grow certain citrus in containers and milder stone fruits. In practice, buyers here lean toward apples, peaches, and figs that need the chill hours Union's winters provide. You get reliable harvests from trees like Elberta Peach and Honeycrisp Apple, which require the cold.

For Union, focus on species that handle -15 degree nights, and enjoy the cold-dependent fruit and fall color that warmer areas miss.
