How Houston Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 19714 in Newark, Delaware (DE) sits in zone 7b with winter lows from 5 to 10 F. That cold rules out most palms and tropicals. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-hardy evergreens and deciduous shade trees instead.

For your cart, that means the palms and citrus you can plant here in Houston simply won't survive a Delaware winter. Your zone 9b opens the door to Jelly Palm and Meyer Lemon in the ground.

ZIP 80215 in Denver, Colorado (CO) is zone 6a. Winter lows drop to -10 to -5 F. Fruit trees that need mild winters fail there. For your cart, that means Denver buyers skip citrus and peaches. Here in 77064, you can grow Meyer Lemon and other citrus with only occasional cold protection.

ZIP 06239 in Danielson, Connecticut (CT) is zone 6b with lows -5 to 0 F. Flowering trees bloom later and risk bud damage. That gap changes the local shortlist to trees that flower after the last freeze. Here, Desert Willow blooms through summer heat without that worry.

For Houston buyers, the contrasts mean you can plant palms, citrus, and heat-loving flowers that colder regions cannot.
