How Houston Compares to Other Areas

Tree choices shift dramatically depending on your climate. Here is how Houston stacks up against three very different regions.

Consider ZIP 80302 in Boulder, Colorado (CO), zone 6a with winter lows of -10 to -5 degrees F. That cold eliminates most broadleaf evergreens and citrus. Locally, that points buyers toward cold-hardy conifers and deciduous shade trees. In Houston, you can grow palms, magnolias, and figs that would not survive a Colorado winter.

ZIP 06505 in New Haven, Connecticut (CT), zone 7a with winter lows of 0 to 5 degrees F, has a shorter growing season. The practical difference is that heat-loving trees like crape myrtle and fig need more winter protection there. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that thrive in humidity and summer heat, options that struggle in New England.

ZIP 46381 in Thayer, Indiana (IN), zone 5b with winter lows of -15 to -10 degrees F, is even more extreme. Drought tolerance matters there, but winter survival is the main filter. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that can handle summer downpours and high humidity, not deep freezes. Your biggest limit is heat, not cold.

For you in Houston, these contrasts mean you can plant a mix of heat-tolerant shade, flowering, and subtropical trees that would be impossible in colder climates. Focus on species that love warmth and moisture.
