How Houston Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 80825 in Kit Carson, Colorado (CO) sits in zone 5b with winter lows from -15 to -10 F. That bone-dry cold rules out many broadleaf evergreens. Locally, that points buyers toward cold-hardy conifers like Eastern Redcedar, which thrives in both Colorado's harsh winters and Houston's mild ones. The practical difference: in Houston you can plant citrus and palms that would never survive a Colorado winter.

ZIP 06781 in Pequabuck, Connecticut (CT) is zone 6b with lows -5 to 0 F. Its summers are shorter and less humid than Houston's. The practical difference is that drought tolerance matters less in Connecticut, where rainfall is more reliable. In Houston, choose trees that handle dry spells, like Texas Ash or Eastern Redcedar.

ZIP 40140 in Garfield, Kentucky (KY) is zone 7a with lows 0 to 5 F. Its summers are hot but not as humid as Houston's. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward heat-tolerant species that also need some cold to set fruit. For Houston, the higher humidity means crape myrtles and palms perform well, while some trees that need dry winters struggle.

For Houston buyers in zone 9, the combination of mild winters and long, humid summers opens up a wider range of trees than most other US climates, but you need species that tolerate both heat and occasional freezes.
