How San Angelo Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 33597 in Webster, Florida (FL) sits in zone 9b with typical winter lows of 25 to 30 degrees F. That milder climate allows palms and tropicals to thrive year-round. In ZIP 76901, winter lows are about 10 to 15 degrees F, so palms that need consistent warmth are not a safe bet. In practice, buyers here lean toward palms and lush tropical foliage. The Chinese Windmill Palm struggles in low-desert full sun anyway. Tropical options are limited to cold-hardy varieties.

ZIP 94536 in Fremont, California (CA) also sits in zone 9b with winter lows 25 to 30 degrees F. That mild climate supports citrus and subtropical fruit trees. For your cart, that means fruit options in your ZIP 76901 are different. Your zone 8a still allows apples, peaches, and pears with enough chill hours. Elberta Peach needs about 800 chill hours, and zone 8 provides that. Low-chill fruit varieties are less common here because winters are cold enough. But citrus trees are not viable; they need warmer winters.

ZIP 80830 in Matheson, Colorado (CO) sits in zone 5b with typical winter lows -15 to -10 degrees F. That harsh cold limits flowering trees to very hardy species like crabapples.

They bloom reliably each spring.
