Frequently Asked Questions

How cold does it get in Temple Hills in winter?

Typical winter lows in ZIP 20748 run about 5 to 10 degrees F. That is zone 7b. Most trees in our catalog handle that well, but tropicals and tender citrus do not. Our picks are zone-matched to survive those lows.

What trees grow fastest in Temple Hills?

Fast-growing options include Texas Ash for shade and Chicago Hardy Fig for fruit. Both establish quickly in zone 7. Evergreen screening with Skyrocket Juniper is moderate but reliable. Your spring or fall shipping window helps get them started at the right time.

Can I grow fruit or citrus trees in Temple Hills?

Yes, but choose cold-hardy types. The Chicago Hardy Fig is a top pick. It survives freezes and produces sweet figs. Standard citrus cannot handle zone 7 winters outdoors. If you really want citrus, keep it in a pot and overwinter indoors.

Skyrocket Rocky Mountain Juniper stands out. It is narrow, cold-hardy, and stays blue-green year-round. For fuller screening, consider evergreen shrubs like Nellie Stevens Holly. Both handle zone 7 winters and summer humidity well.

How Temple Hills Compares to Other Areas

Tree selection shifts with climate. Here is how Temple Hills stacks up against three other US zones.

ZIP 33445 in Delray Beach, Florida (FL) sits in zone 10b with winter lows of 35 to 40 F. That warmth opens the door to palms and tropicals. In Temple Hills, those plants would freeze. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-hardy shade and framing evergreens instead.

ZIP 90075 in Los Angeles, California (CA) is also zone 10b with lows 35 to 40 F. Citrus and avocados thrive year-round. Your zone 7 winters kill most citrus. For your cart, that means you stick with cold-hardy fruits like Chicago Hardy Fig or consider a container fig you can move indoors.

ZIP 85706 in Tucson, Arizona (AZ) is zone 9b with lows 25 to 30 F. Desert-adapted flowering trees like palo verde are common. Temple Hills gets more rain and colder winters. That gap changes the local shortlist to deciduous shade trees and ornamental plums that handle both cold and humidity.

For your yard in Temple Hills, the contrast means you can grow a broader mix of temperate trees than warm-climate areas, but you skip tropicals and most citrus. Focus on trees that handle cold snaps and summer humidity.
