How Washington County Compares to Other Areas

Inyo County, California (CA) spans zones 7a to 9a with winter lows from 0 to 25 degrees F. That region is much warmer than Washington County. Local buyers there can choose trees that would not survive our cold winters, such as citrus or other zone 9 species. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward cold-hardy options like the Skyrocket Juniper or Autumn Blaze Maple.

Terrell County, Georgia (GA) sits in zone 8b with lows of 15 to 20 degrees F. That is mild compared to Washington County. Heat and humidity tolerance matter more there. Locally, that points buyers toward trees like the Mexican Plum, which handles our colder winters but also thrives in humid summers.

District of Columbia, District of Columbia (DC) falls in zone 7b to 8a with lows of 5 to 15 degrees F. That is warmer than our -5 to 0 range.
