How Madison Compares to Other Areas

Trees chosen for zip 85712 in Tucson, Arizona (AZ) need to handle zone 9b and winter lows of 25 to 30 F. That's a much warmer zone than yours. Buyers there prioritize drought-tolerant species like desert willows and palo verdes. Locally, that points buyers toward trees that can handle humid summers and occasional cold snaps. Your shade and flowering trees perform better here than in the desert Southwest.

In zip 32404 in Panama City, Florida (FL), zone 9a brings winter lows of 20 to 25 F and high humidity year-round. The climate there supports southern magnolias and live oaks. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that need a winter chill, like your Elberta Peach. Madison's cold winters also reduce pest pressure compared to the Florida Panhandle.

Zip 92324 in Colton, California (CA) sits in zone 10a with winter lows of 30 to 35 F. Drought is a constant challenge there, favoring water-wise trees such as crape myrtles. The practical difference is that your Madison yard receives more rainfall and colder winters, so you can grow birches, redbuds, and palms that would struggle in dry California heat.

What does this mean for you? The trees on this page are chosen for your specific mix of cold winters and warm summers. You don't have to guess what works.
