How Brooklyn Compares to Other Areas

Tree choices shift with climate and zone. Here's how Brooklyn's zone 7b stacks up against three other areas.

ZIP 70139 in New Orleans, Louisiana (LA) sits in zone 9b with winter lows of 25 to 30 F. That warmth lets palms and tropicals thrive. In Brooklyn, you can't keep a palm alive in winter. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-hardy options like Bur Oak and Chicago Hardy Fig that handle 5-10 F lows.

ZIP 04739 in Eagle Lake, Maine (ME) is zone 4a with lows of -30 to -25 F. That's far too cold for crape myrtles or Japanese maples. For your cart, that means you can safely grow Dynamite Crape Myrtle and Viridis Japanese Laceleaf Maple. Maine gardeners can't. The gap pushes Brooklyn choices toward flowering ornamentals and Japanese maples that add color.

ZIP 55554 in Norwood, Minnesota (MN) is zone 4b with lows -25 to -20 F. Fruit trees like Chicago Hardy Fig would never survive. That gap changes the local shortlist to include figs and other zone 6-9 fruits. In Brooklyn you can grow figs without worry. Minnesota needs different picks. The bottom line: your zone 7b allows a rich mix of shade, flowering, and fruit trees not possible in colder climates.
