How Windber Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 30392 in Atlanta, Georgia (GA) sits in zone 8a with winter lows of 10 to 15 degrees F. That warmer climate allows flowering trees like crape myrtles to bloom for months. For your cart, that means Windber's colder zone 6a rules out many long-blooming ornamentals, but hardy redbuds and crabapples still work.

ZIP 33629 in Tampa, Florida (FL) is zone 10a with lows 30 to 35 F. Year-round warmth supports dense privacy screens like arborvitae that grow fast. That gap changes the local shortlist to evergreens that survive zone 6 winters, such as Emerald Green Arborvitae, which stays compact.

ZIP 92502 in Riverside, California (CA) also in zone 10a with lows 30 to 35 F. Palms and tropicals thrive there but cannot survive Windber's cold. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-hardy fruit trees like Honeycrisp apple and ornamental maples that handle the freeze.
