How Carrizozo Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 53220 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (WI) sits in zone 5b with lows of -15 to -10 F. That is much colder than Carrizozo. Palms and tropicals like Chinese Windmill Palm would not survive outdoors there. In practice, buyers in Milwaukee lean toward cold-hardy evergreens and deciduous trees. For your cart, that means your warmer zone opens the door to palms and semi-tropicals.

ZIP 82935 in Green River, Wyoming (WY) is zone 5a with lows -20 to -15 F. Fruit trees like Chicago Hardy Fig can survive zone 5 with protection, but the shorter growing season limits production.

The practical difference is you can grow figs and other fruits with less winter risk.

ZIP 05041 in East Randolph, Vermont (VT) is also zone 5a with similar winter lows. Flowering trees like crape myrtle are borderline in zone 5 and may die back.
