How Houston Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 81328 in Mancos, Colorado (CO) lies in zone 6a. Winter lows there drop to -10 to -5 F. That cold kills most trees that would thrive in Houston.

Locally, that points buyers toward very cold-hardy species like blue spruce. Here in zone 9b, you can grow redbuds, olives, and palms that would not survive in Mancos.

ZIP 06280 in Windham, Connecticut (CT) is zone 6b with winter lows of -5 to 0 F. Summers there are cooler and often wetter than Houston.

The practical difference is that drought-tolerant trees like Chinese Pistachio are less needed in Connecticut. In Houston, you should select trees that handle dry spells, such as Shumard Oak or Liberty Holly.

ZIP 19895 in Wilmington, Delaware (DE) is zone 7b with lows of 5 to 10 F. The climate is milder than New England but still has cold winters and moderate humidity.

Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that tolerate both heat and cold. In Houston, the high humidity and heat favor trees like Eastern Redbud and Chinese Windmill Palm, which enjoy moist air.

For Houston buyers, these contrasts mean you can focus on heat- and humidity-tolerant varieties while skipping species that need extreme cold or dry air.
