In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-hardy conifers and maples. That means your zone 7 allows a wider range of Japanese maples without winter dieback risk.

ZIP 83126 in Smoot, Wyoming (WY) is zone 5a with lows -20 to -15 F. Palms and tropicals cannot survive outdoors there. For your cart, that means zone 7 opens possibilities for cold-hardy figs and crape myrtle but still restricts true tropicals.
