Instead, you get strong chill-hour fruit like peaches and apples, plus spring-flowering trees that need winter cold.

ZIP 31150 in Atlanta, GA (zone 8a, lows 10 to 15 F) gets more heat and humidity than Albany. In practice, buyers here lean toward heat-tolerant crape myrtles and southern magnolias.
