ZIP 30503 in Gainesville, Georgia (GA) sits in zone 8a with winter lows of 10 to 15 F. That gap changes the local shortlist to privacy and screening options like Southern magnolias and camellias, which are borderline in zone 6. Here in 64036, you stick with hardier evergreens such as hollies and junipers.

ZIP 20030 in Washington, District of Columbia (DC) is zone 7b with lows of 5 to 10 F. For your cart, that means flowering trees like crape myrtles bloom more reliably in DC than in Henrietta, where late frosts can nip early buds. Your safer picks are native redbuds and dogwoods that tolerate colder snaps.

ZIP 32662 in Lochloosa, Florida (FL) is zone 9a with lows of 20 to 25 F. In practice, buyers here lean toward fruit and citrus viability, growing oranges and avocados that cannot survive your winters. In Henrietta, stick with peaches, apples, and figs that need chill hours and handle frost. The contrast means your cart focuses on cold-hardy species that thrive in zone 6a.
