In Chandler, those same plants would freeze. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-hardy evergreens and deciduous shade trees.

ZIP 19952 in Harrington, Delaware (DE) is zone 7b with typical winter lows 5 to 10 F. That climate supports a wider fruit selection, including peaches and cherries that require fewer chill hours. In Chandler, fruit choices narrow to the most winter-hardy species like Chicago Hardy Fig. For your cart, that means you skip stone fruits that need milder winters. Focus on figs and super-hardy apple varieties.

ZIP 31085 in Shady Dale, Georgia (GA) is also zone 8a with winter lows 10 to 15 F. The warmer weather brings a long flowering season from azaleas, dogwoods, and magnolias. In Chandler, the shorter growing season limits flowering ornamentals to early bloomers like redbud and late-leafing species. That gap changes the local shortlist to cold-hardy native and near-native trees that flower reliably after the last frost.

What does this mean for your cart? In Chandler, every tree in your order must survive -20°F. Stick with the zone 5a strong performers. The six featured trees are proven winners for your ZIP.
