ZIP 93634 in Lakeshore, California (CA) sits in zone 5b with winter lows from -15 to -10 F. That climate rules out many trees that Fort Worth grows easily, such as figs and subtropicals. Locally, that points buyers toward hardier oaks and cold-tolerant evergreens. In Fort Worth, you can choose from a wider palette that includes peaches, figs, and Japanese maples with partial shade.

ZIP 81252 in Westcliffe, Colorado (CO) also sees zone 5b lows of -15 to -10 F. Drought is the main challenge there, while Fort Worth gets more humidity and summer rain.
