How Houston Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 80539 in Loveland, Colorado (CO) sits in zone 5b, where winter lows drop to -15 to -10 F. That cold-hardiness zone eliminates most of what Houston grows easily. Trees like Live Oak and Jelly Palm would not survive there. Locally, that points buyers toward Brodie Eastern Red Cedar, which tolerates both warm and cold climates. The practical difference is that Houston's zone 9b allows a much wider palette of trees.

ZIP 06493 in Wallingford, Connecticut (CT) is zone 6b, with winter lows -5 to 0 F. Drought tolerance matters less there than in Houston. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that handle humidity and heat, like Pink Dawn Chitalpa and Meyer Lemon. Wallingford's cooler summers mean trees that need consistent moisture, like Dura Heat River Birch, can grow without stress. For Houston, the focus stays on heat tolerance.

ZIP 19718 in Newark, Delaware (DE) is zone 7b, with lows 5 to 10 F. That is warmer than Colorado but still colder than Houston. The practical difference is that Houston's humidity and heat demand trees that resist fungal issues. In Newark, you can grow many of the same species, but you may have to protect them from cold. For Houston, the choice often leans toward tropicals and palms that would not survive the Delaware winter.

What this means for your cart: Houston's zone 9b lets you pick from a broad range of trees, especially heat-loving and humidity-tolerant varieties that other parts of the country cannot grow.
