That gap changes the local shortlist to apples and cherries. In zone 5a, your options narrow further: Bing cherry needs a pollinator and frost protection for blossoms.

ZIP 88007 in Las Cruces, New Mexico (NM) is zone 8b with lows of 15 to 20 degrees F. Palms and tropicals thrive there. For your cart, that means those plants will not survive here. Instead focus on cold-hardy shade and evergreens.
