How New Orleans Compares to Other Areas

In ZIP 67752 in Quinter, Kansas (KS) with zone 6a and lows down to -5 F, Japanese maples are a popular choice. Those delicate trees struggle in New Orleans' heat. Locally, that points buyers toward trees that handle humidity, such as crape myrtles or the Chinese Pistachio.

ZIP 40117 in Ekron, Kentucky (KY) sits in zone 7a with winter lows around 0 to 5 F. Cold-hardiness is key there. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that can handle both heat and occasional mild frost. The Elberta Peach, for instance, needs about 800 chill hours, which New Orleans provides, but in Ekron it might get more than necessary.

ZIP 58075 in Wahpeton, North Dakota (ND) is zone 4a with lows -30 to -25 F. Heat and humidity are non-issues there. The practical difference is that in New Orleans you can grow palms and tropicals that would never survive a North Dakota winter. Your selection is much broader.

For buyers in New Orleans, the main takeaway is that your zone allows many tree types from shade to fruit to palms, as long as they handle humidity and mild winters.
