How Church Creek Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 91322 in Newhall, California (CA) sits in zone 10a with winter lows of 30 to 35 F. That area rarely sees frost, so buyers there can plant citrus and palms without winter protection. Locally, that points buyers toward cold-hardy fruit trees like the Chicago Hardy Fig, which shrugs off the teens.

ZIP 80218 in Denver, Colorado (CO) is zone 6a with lows of -10 to -5 F. Denver's dry air and deep freezes rule out many broadleaf evergreens that Church Creek handles easily.

ZIP 06331 in Canterbury, Connecticut (CT) is zone 6b with lows of -5 to 0 F. Connecticut gets more snow and shorter growing seasons. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward deciduous shade trees and cold-hardy maples. Church Creek's longer heat gives you more flower power from crape myrtles and figs.
