How Cleveland Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 32547 in Fort Walton Beach, Florida (FL) sits in zone 9a with winter lows of 20 to 25 degrees F. That puts palm trees and tropicals into practical range. In practice, buyers here lean toward palms and bougainvillea for year-round interest. Your 44102 winters are 20 degrees colder, so tropicals won't survive. Stick with hardy species like Liberty Holly and White Dogwood.

ZIP 91504 in Burbank, California (CA) has zone 10a with winter lows of 30 to 35 degrees F. Citrus trees thrive there year-round. For your cart, that means citrus is not an option here; but cold-hardy figs and apples suited to zone 7a are reliable choices.

ZIP 85358 in Wickenburg, Arizona (AZ) also rests in zone 9a with lows of 20 to 25 degrees F. Desert-adapted flowering trees like palo verde and mesquite are common. That gap changes the local shortlist to shade and flowering trees that tolerate humidity, like crape myrtle and dogwood.

For Cleveland, the contrasts mean your cart should focus on zone 7a-hardy species that can handle both cold winters and humid summers.
