Locally, that points buyers toward fruit trees like the Arbequina Olive that benefit from cool winters. Longwood gardeners must choose low-chill varieties instead. The cold-hardiness difference gives Kerrville more options for temperate species.

Compare to ZIP 95321 in Groveland, California (CA). Groveland is zone 6a with lows -10 to -5 F. Kerrville is much warmer and more humid.
