ZIP 28636 in Hiddenite, North Carolina (NC) is also zone 8a with lows 10 to 15 F. Palms and tropicals become feasible there, not in Lima. For your cart, that means you cannot grow palm trees outdoors year-round in ZIP 14485. Your options are limited to cold-hardy evergreens and deciduous trees.

ZIP 58630 in Gladstone, North Dakota (ND) is zone 4a with lows -30 to -25 F. That is much colder than Lima. Fruit trees struggle there.
