How Saint George Compares to Other Areas

Your ZIP 66535 sits in zone 6a with winter lows of -10 to -5 F. Compare that to ZIP 99363 in Wallula, Washington (WA), zone 7b with lows 5 to 10 F. That warmer zone allows palms and tropicals that cannot survive your cold. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-hardy shade trees instead.

Next, ZIP 79780 in Saragosa, Texas (TX), zone 8a with lows 10 to 15 F. Zone 8a supports citrus trees. Your zone 6a is too cold for citrus, but cold-hardy fruits like Chicago Hardy Fig thrive. For your cart, that means citrus is out, but figs are in.

Last, ZIP 57741 in Fort Meade, South Dakota (SD), zone 4b with lows -25 to -20 F. That colder zone limits flowering color to very hardy species like lilacs. In Saint George, you can grow Dynamite Crape Myrtle and The Rising Sun Eastern Redbud. That gap changes the local shortlist to include flowering trees that would struggle in 4b.

For your yard in 66535, the contrasts show that you have a balanced mix of shade, fruit, privacy, and flowering options not available in colder or warmer zones.
