ZIP 78351 in Driscoll, Texas (TX) sits in zone 9b, with winter lows of 25 to 30 F. That warm zone supports palms and tropicals. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-sensitive plants that would not survive Ashby's winters. In Ashby, you stick with trees hardy to zone 6.

ZIP 98266 in Maple Falls, Washington (WA) is zone 8a, with lows of 10 to 15 F. That milder winter allows citrus and other borderline fruits. For your cart, that means Ashby buyers skip citrus and choose cold-hardy figs or apples instead. The Chicago Hardy Fig is a good fit here.

ZIP 57760 in Newell, South Dakota (SD) is zone 4b, with lows of -25 to -20 F. That zone limits flowering trees to very hardy species. That gap changes the local shortlist to focus on the toughest bloomers. In Ashby, you have more flowering options like Merlot Redbud and Japanese maples that would not survive Newell.

The contrasts show that Ashby's zone 6a gives you a balanced palette. You can grow shade, privacy, flowering, and fruit trees that would be too tender for colder areas or too hardy for warmer ones. Your cart should lean toward trees proven in zone 6 and cold snaps to -10°F.
