How Houston Compares to Other Areas

Understanding how your zone differs from other regions helps you choose the right trees. Here's how zone 9b in Houston compares to three other locations across the country.

Start with ZIP 52301 in Marengo, Iowa (IA). That area is zone 5a, with typical winter lows of -20 to -15 F. The frigid winters rule out most Japanese maples, which would suffer dieback. Locally, that points buyers toward conifers and hardy oaks. In Houston, Japanese maples can thrive in shade with some summer protection, so you have more options for delicate foliage.

Next consider ZIP 83655 in New Plymouth, Idaho (ID). It falls in zone 7a with winter lows of 0 to 5 F. The practical difference is that zone 7 is still cold enough to kill frost-sensitive citrus and many palms. Here in Houston, you can grow Arbequina olive trees and Jelly palms outdoors year-round. Your warmer nights let you experiment with subtropical species.

Finally ZIP 47598 in Winslow, Indiana (IN). That area is zone 6b with lows of -5 to 0 F. Such cold winters demand extreme cold-hardiness in every tree. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward maples and oaks that can handle the freeze. In Houston, drought tolerance becomes the bigger factor. You can select trees like Texas Ash and Pink Dawn Chitalpa that shrug off dry spells more than winter cold.

What this means for your cart: Houston's mild winters let you grow a wider range of trees than most of the country. Focus on heat and drought tolerance, not winter survival. The trees in our zone 9b collection are already vetted for that.
