How Mount Vernon Compares to Other Areas

Lake Havasu City, AZ (86406) zone 10a, winter lows 30-35 F, palms and tropicals thrive year-round. In practice, buyers here lean toward Chinese windmill palm and other tropicals. But the Chinese Windmill Palm struggles in low-desert full sun; it wants some shade and humidity. That contrasts with Mount Vernon's zone 7b, where this palm still requires summer shade but benefits from more humidity.

New Port Richey, FL (34656) also sits in zone 10a, with similar winter lows. There, citrus trees bear fruit reliably. For your cart, that means if you lived there, you could grow oranges, but in Mount Vernon, you need cold-hardy fruits like the Chicago Hardy Fig or apples that require chill hours. The fig is self-fertile and reliable here.

Hollandale, MN (56045) zone 4b, winter lows -25 to -20 F. That gap changes the local shortlist to extremely cold-hardy flowering trees like crabapples. In Mount Vernon's zone 7b, you can grow white dogwood and other spring bloomers that would freeze in Hollandale. The dogwood offers iconic white blossoms and fall berries here.

For Mount Vernon, these contrasts highlight your advantage: you can enjoy a broader palette of trees, from southern magnolia to Japanese maples, while still needing to protect tender varieties from occasional cold snaps.
