How Houston Compares to Other Areas

Tree choices shift depending on zone and climate. Here's how Houston stacks up against three other locations.

ZIP 01430 in Ashburnham, Massachusetts (MA) sits in zone 6a with winter lows of -10 to -5 F. That much colder climate rules out many of the heat-loving choices that do well here. For your cart, that means Japanese maples, which struggle in Houston's heat, are a staple in Ashburnham. Locally, zone 9b makes Japanese maples a poor fit, they scorch in our summers.

ZIP 21775 in New Midway, Maryland (MD) is zone 7a with lows 0 to 5 F. That gap changes the local shortlist to flowering trees: while Redbuds grow in both areas, the longer bloom window and heat-tolerant varieties like Merlot Redbud shine in Houston. The practical difference is that Maryland's colder winters limit citrus and palms, while Houston can grow both with care.

ZIP 04330 in Augusta, Maine (ME) is zone 5b with lows -15 to -10 F. In practice, buyers here lean toward privacy screens made of dense evergreens like arborvitae and spruces. In Houston, heat-tolerant redcedars and broadleaf evergreens are the better privacy picks because Maine's cold-hardy conifers often fail in our humidity and heat.

For buyers in Houston, the contrast means your cart should focus on trees that handle heat and mild winters. The featured list and category pages match that need.
