How Washington Compares to Other Areas

Washington's zone 6a winters shape which trees thrive. Compare with three other regions to see the difference.

ZIP 91359 in Westlake Village, California (CA) sits in zone 10a with winter lows of 30 to 35 F. That nearly frost-free climate lets homeowners grow citrus, palms, and tropicals year-round. Cold-hardy trees like the Skyrocket Rocky Mountain Juniper are unnecessary there. Locally, that points buyers toward oaks and redbuds that need a real winter chill to do well. A tree like the Elberta peach would struggle in Westlake Village because it never gets enough cold hours.

ZIP 33880 in Winter Haven, Florida (FL) is also zone 10a with lows of 30 to 35 F. Heat and humidity dominate. Trees that need dry summers or a cold dormancy fail here. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward heat-tolerant species like crape myrtles and palms. In Washington, the reverse is true: trees that handle cold and moderate humidity, like Shumard Oak and Eastern redbud, are the practical picks. The Rising Sun Eastern Redbud would not flourish in Florida's year-round warmth.

ZIP 30052 in Loganville, Georgia (GA) is zone 8a with lows of 10 to 15 F. Winters are milder than Washington's but still require some cold hardiness. Drought tolerance becomes more important there in summer heat. The practical difference is Washington's colder winters rule out any tree that is not zone 6 hardy, while Loganville can include zone 8 trees. In Washington, you stick with trees like Skyrocket Juniper and Viridis Japanese Laceleaf Maple that survive -10 to -5 lows.

For your Washington yard, the message is clear: choose trees proven in zone 6a or colder. Warmer-zone trees will not make it through your winter.
