Lake County, Florida (FL) sits in zone 9b with winter lows around 25 to 30 F. That warmth lets buyers plant palms and tropicals year-round. In practice, buyers there lean toward citrus and hibiscus. For your cart, that means your zone 5 limits those options. Your cold winters require hardier trees like Eastern Redcedar or Slender Silhouette Sweetgum.

Jackson County, Alabama (AL) falls in zones 7b to 8a, with winter lows 5 to 15 F. Warmer than Warren County by 10 to 20 degrees.
