How Houston Compares to Other Areas

In ZIP 81047 in Holly, Colorado (CO), winter lows hit -10 to -5 F in zone 6a. Gardeners there must choose extremely cold-hardy trees like Eastern Redcedar, which survives to zone 2.

Locally, that points buyers toward trees that tolerate occasional frost but do not need deep freeze survival. Texas Ash and Pink Dawn Chitalpa handle the area's mild winters well.

ZIP 06854 in Norwalk, Connecticut (CT) falls in zone 7a with winter lows from 0 to 5 F. That area receives consistent summer rain, so drought tolerance is less of a concern.

The practical difference is that in this ZIP, summer dry spells can stress trees if they are not drought-tolerant. Species like Texas Ash and Chicago Hardy Fig are well adapted to drier periods.

In ZIP 47962 in Montmorenci, Indiana (IN), zone 6a brings winter lows of -10 to -5 F. Summers there are cooler and less humid.

Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that can handle the area's heat and humidity. Evergreens like Hetzii Columnaris Chinese Juniper and Eastern Redcedar perform well in these conditions.

So for this area, focus on heat-tolerant, drought-resistant species to get the best results.
