How New Orleans Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 58716 in Benedict, North Dakota (ND) is zone 4a, with winter lows -30 to -25 degrees Fahrenheit. That climate rules out many trees that are standard in zone 9. Japanese maples, which are popular in milder zones, do not survive that cold. In practice, buyers here lean toward extremely cold-hardy species like Colorado blue spruce. Your ZIP 70145 in New Orleans, by contrast, has winter lows only in the 20s, allowing Japanese maples to thrive.

ZIP 68003 in Ashland, Nebraska (NE) is zone 5b, with lows -15 to -10 degrees. Fruit trees like citrus are impossible there. That gap changes the local shortlist to include only high-chill varieties like Elberta peach, which needs about 800 chill hours. In this area, you can grow low-chill figs and even citrus with minimal winter protection.

ZIP 08638 in Trenton, New Jersey (NJ) is zone 7a, with lows 0 to 5 degrees. Palms and tropicals are marginal there; only hardy palms like needle palm survive. For your cart, that means this area is far better suited to a variety of palms and tropicals, such as the Jelly Palm, which would struggle in Trenton's winters.

These comparisons show that New Orleans' mild winters and long growing season make it ideal for a broad palette of trees, from shade oaks to flowering crape myrtles to tropical accents.
