How Bettendorf Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 20221 in Washington, District of Columbia (DC) sits in zone 8a with winter lows only 10 to 15 degrees. That mild climate allows citrus trees outdoors. In practice, buyers here lean toward fruit trees that need warm winters. For Bettendorf, the cold means you stick with hardy apples, cherries, and peaches. That gap changes the local shortlist to zone-5 adapted varieties like Bing Cherry and Honeycrisp Apple.

ZIP 19891 in Wilmington, Delaware (DE) is zone 7b with lows 5 to 10 degrees. While still cold, it can support a few cold-hardy palms. Bettendorf's -15 to -10 lows rule them out entirely. For your cart, that means palms are not an option, but you can still grow wind-tolerant evergreens and deciduous trees that handle deep freezes.

ZIP 35615 in Belle Mina, Alabama (AL) is also zone 8a with warm lows. Privacy screens there often include broadleaf evergreens like holly or magnolia. In Bettendorf's zone 5b, those would not survive. For your cart, that means you choose needled evergreens like Brodie Eastern Red Cedar or columnar arborvitae for year-round screening.

What these comparisons show is that Bettendorf's hardiness zone narrows your options to cold-tolerant species, but you still have a strong selection of trees that perform well given the right care and placement.
