How Paw Paw Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 38157 in Memphis, Tennessee (TN) sits in zone 8a with winter lows around 10 to 15 F. That warmth allows palms and other tropical plants to survive outdoors. In practice, buyers here lean toward magnolias and southern live oaks. For your cart in Paw Paw, that means you cannot count on tropicals. Stick to zone-5 hardy trees like Bur Oak and Brodie Eastern Red Cedar.

ZIP 79505 in Benjamin, Texas (TX) is also zone 8a with lows 10 to 15 F. Citrus trees like oranges and lemons grow there with some protection. For your cart, that means you cannot grow citrus in Paw Paw. The cold-hardy Chicago Hardy Fig is the best fruit option here. It can survive -10 F winters and still produce sweet figs.

ZIP 99337 in Kennewick, Washington (WA) sits in zone 7b with winter lows 5 to 10 F. That milder climate supports a longer bloom season for flowering trees like dogwoods and redbuds. That gap changes the local shortlist to shorter-blooming varieties in Paw Paw. White Dogwood and Royal White Eastern Redbud still bloom well here but need site selection for best results.

These contrasts show that Paw Paw's zone 5b requires cold-hardy picks, but the trees featured here are proven performers.
