How Steele Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 90056 in Los Angeles, California (CA) sits in zone 10b with winter lows of 35 to 40 degrees F. That climate never sees hard freezes, so tropicals and palms grow easily. Locally, that points buyers toward cold-hardy trees that can handle Steele's winter lows.

The practical difference is that Steele's zone 7a requires trees rated for temperatures down to 0 to 5 degrees F. Many trees that thrive in Los Angeles would not survive a single winter here.

ZIP 33616 in Tampa, Florida (FL) is zone 10a with lows of 30 to 35 degrees F. Heat and humidity are high year-round, which suits southern magnolias and citrus. The practical difference is that Steele's drier cold winters reduce the need for extreme heat tolerance, but you still need trees that handle humid summers.

Drought tolerance matters less in Steele than in arid climates, but your trees may still face dry spells in late summer.

ZIP 85203 in Mesa, Arizona (AZ) is zone 9b with lows of 25 to 30 degrees F. The desert heat and low humidity demand drought-tolerant species like mesquite and palo verde. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that can take both cold and humidity, unlike the arid-adapted trees of Mesa.

Steele's summer humidity means you avoid many desert trees that would rot. Instead, select trees suited to the humid continental climate of eastern Kentucky.

For Steele buyers, the key is choosing trees rated for zone 7a that tolerate both cold winters and humid summers, a combination that eliminates many options from warmer or drier regions.
