How Starford Compares to Other Areas

In ZIP 32095 in Saint Augustine, Florida (FL), winter lows only reach 25 to 30 degrees F. That mild climate allows subtropical screening plants like podocarpus and citrus hedges that would freeze in zone 6. That gap changes the local shortlist to cold-hardy arborvitae and evergreen hollies for Starford. You need conifers that tolerate -10 to -5 F.

ZIP 30294 in Ellenwood, Georgia (GA) sits in zone 8a with lows of 10 to 15 degrees F. This warmth lets Southern gardeners grow camellias and gardenias for winter bloom.
