Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward drought-tolerant species because summers are long and hot. Dresden's cold winters rule out most Texas favorites like crepe myrtles. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that can handle -15 F and a short growing season. Drought is less of a factor here than cold hardiness.
