How Athens Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 96007 in Anderson, California (CA) is zone 9a with lows of 20 to 25 F. Dry summers there make drought tolerance a top priority. In Athens, humidity and more rainfall mean drought tolerance is less critical, though it still helps for evergreens like Carolina Sapphire Arizona Cypress.
