How Houston Compares to Other Areas

Comparing Houston to other regions helps clarify what grows best here.

In ZIP 19890 in Wilmington, Delaware (DE), winter lows reach 5 to 10 F in zone 7b. That cold limits fruit trees like olive to container growing. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-hardy apples and pears instead of citrus. Houston's warmer winters allow Arbequina Olive to fruit outdoors year-round.

ZIP 81401 in Montrose, Colorado (CO) sits in zone 6b with winter lows -5 to 0 F. Palm trees cannot survive those temperatures. That gap changes the local shortlist to cold-hardy conifers and deciduous trees. Houston's warmth supports palms like Dwarf Palmetto and Chinese Windmill Palm.

ZIP 06438 in Haddam, Connecticut (CT) also at zone 6b has winter lows -5 to 0 F. Privacy screening there relies on hardy evergreens like arborvitae. For your cart, that means Houston offers more privacy options, including fast-growing evergreens and broadleaf screening trees.

These contrasts show that Houston's zone 9b opens up a broader palette of trees, especially for fruit, tropicals, and screening.
