How Houston Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 80950 in Colorado Springs, Colorado (CO) sits in zone 6a with winter lows of -10 to -5 F. That kind of cold rules out many of the trees that thrive in Houston. Locally, that points buyers toward species that endure severe cold, like certain maples and oaks, while Houston buyers can focus on heat-tolerant choices.

ZIP 06422 in Durham, Connecticut (CT) is zone 6b with lows -5 to 0 F. The growing season is much shorter, and humidity is lower. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that can handle cold snaps and a late spring, whereas in Houston the challenge is the heat and humidity.

ZIP 19717 in Newark, Delaware (DE) is zone 7b with lows 5 to 10 F. That is still colder than Houston but not as extreme as Colorado. The practical difference is that Houston's minimal frost allows tropicals like palms and fig trees, while Newark buyers are limited to more frost-hardy varieties.

For buyers in Houston, the takeaway is clear: your focus should be on heat and humidity tolerance rather than extreme cold hardiness. The mild winters open up a wider palette of trees.
