How Alexandria Compares to Other Areas

In ZIP 37705 in Andersonville, Tennessee (TN), winter lows drop to 5 to 10 degrees F in zone 7b. That colder climate limits citrus and some subtropical fruits. In practice, buyers here lean toward hardy apple and pear varieties. In Alexandria's zone 9a, winter lows hover around 20 to 25 degrees, letting you grow fig trees and even some cold-hardy citrus if sheltered.

ZIP 54964 in Pickett, Wisconsin (WI), sits in zone 5a with extreme lows of -20 to -15 degrees. No palms or tropicals survive there unprotected. That gap changes the local shortlist to cold-hardy evergreens and deciduous trees. For your cart, that means Alexandria's warmth opens up palms, crape myrtles, and other zone 9 favorites.

In ZIP 26404 in Meadowbrook, West Virginia (WV), zone 6b brings winter lows of -5 to 0 degrees. Privacy screens there rely on junipers and arborvitae that withstand deep freezes. For your cart, that means Alexandria's milder winters allow broadleaf evergreens like holly and crape myrtle to serve as year-round screens.

For Alexandria buyers, these contrasts mean you can choose from a wider palette of trees, especially palms, flowering ornamentals, and fruit trees that would struggle in colder zones.
