How Brooklyn Compares to Other Areas

Tree choices shift when you compare Brooklyn's zone 7b with warmer or colder climates.

Consider ZIP 70643 in Grand Chenier, Louisiana (LA), zone 9b with winter lows 25 to 30 F. That warm climate allows citrus and subtropicals that need more heat. Japanese maples, which thrive in Brooklyn's cooler summers, can struggle in Louisiana's intense humidity and heat. In practice, buyers here lean toward palms and broadleaf evergreens over delicate maples.

ZIP 04338 in Augusta, Maine (ME), zone 5b with winter lows -15 to -10 F, is much colder. Fruit and citrus trees that produce in Brooklyn cannot survive Maine's deep freezes without heavy protection. That gap changes the local shortlist to hardy apples and cold-tolerant conifers. In Brooklyn, you can enjoy Bing cherries and even certain palms.

ZIP 56438 in Browerville, Minnesota (MN), zone 4a with winter lows -30 to -25 F, pushes the limit further. Palms and tropicals are out of the question there. For your cart, that means the palms and Japanese maples feasible in Brooklyn would not survive a Minnesota winter. You have a much wider set of options than those colder ZIPs offer.

For homeowners in Brooklyn, these contrasts highlight the advantage of zone 7b: you can grow shade trees, flowering trees, fruit trees, and palms all on the same property.
