How Houston Compares to Other Areas

Planting conditions differ across the country. Here is how Houston's zone 9b stacks up against three other spots.

ZIP 52220 in Conroy, Iowa (IA) is zone 5a with winter lows of -20 to -15 F. That cold rules out many trees you can grow here. Japanese maples are borderline there; only the hardiest varieties survive. Locally, that points buyers toward species that tolerate occasional mild freezes but don't need extreme cold hardiness.

ZIP 83647 in Mountain Home, Idaho (ID) is zone 6b with lows -5 to 0 F. Cold hardiness is the main filter there; many flowering trees that bloom well in Houston are risky. The practical difference is that Houston's warmer winters allow a wider range of evergreens and figs without winter protection.

ZIP 46957 in Matthews, Indiana (IN) is zone 6a with lows -10 to -5 F. Drought tolerance matters less there because summers are cooler and wetter. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that handle humidity and occasional dry spells, like desert willow or Chinese windmill palm.
