How Ferndale Compares to Other Areas

Tree selection shifts with climate. Here is how zone 6b in Ferndale compares to other regions.

ZIP 34755 in Minneola, Florida (FL) sits in zone 9b with winter lows of 25 to 30 F. That warmth lets homeowners grow citrus and tropicals that would not survive Ferndale's frosts. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-hardy fruit and classic ornamentals rather than tropical foliage.

ZIP 20418 in Washington, District of Columbia (DC) falls in zone 8a, with lows of 10 to 15 F. Palms and broad-leaf evergreens are viable there but are not reliably hardy in Ferndale's zone 6b. That gap changes the local shortlist to Japanese maples, redbuds, and dogwoods that handle colder winters.

ZIP 36539 in Fruitdale, Alabama (AL) is zone 8b, with lows of 15 to 20 F. Their milder winters open up a wider range of screening options, including certain hollies and magnolias. For your cart, that means sticking with zone-6-tested evergreens and deciduous trees that will not suffer winter injury here in Ferndale.
