How Houston Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 44194 in Cleveland, Ohio (OH) sits in zone 7a with winter lows of 0 to 5 F. That climate is cold enough that Japanese maples need careful siting and winter protection. In zone 9b here, winter lows around 25 to 30 F mean Japanese maples grow with less risk of cold damage. For your cart, that means you can choose from a wider palette of ornamental trees that would struggle through an Ohio winter.

ZIP 73184 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (OK) is zone 7b with winter lows of 5 to 10 F. The colder winters there shorten the bloom window for many flowering trees. That gap changes the local shortlist to selections that flower reliably after a hard freeze. Here, flowering trees like Bubba Desert Willow and crape myrtles bloom through a longer warm season with less worry about bud kill.

ZIP 67210 in Wichita, Kansas (KS) is zone 7a with winter lows of 0 to 5 F. Those cold winters limit the evergreen species that can form a year-round screen. In practice, buyers here lean toward deciduous options that lose leaves in winter. In this area, you can plant Spartan Chinese Juniper or other broadleaf evergreens for privacy that stays dense through every season.

The practical difference for your cart is that this zone 9 climate gives you more choices for shade, privacy, flowering, and fruit trees than what fits in colder regions.
