How San Antonio Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 78285 in San Antonio (zone 9a, lows 20, 25°F) offers a long growing season. Compare that to colder places.

ZIP 54566 in Wabeno, Wisconsin (WI, zone 4b, lows, 25 to, 20°F) sees winters that kill many trees that do well here. Japanese maples, for example, struggle there without heavy protection. That gap changes the local shortlist to cold-hardy oaks and evergreens instead of delicate ornamentals.

ZIP 82938 in Mc Kinnon, Wyoming (WY, zone 5b, lows, 15 to, 10°F) has a short growing season and dry air. Privacy and screening options are limited to tough conifers. For your cart, that means you can enjoy broadleaf evergreens and flowering trees that simply won't survive that climate.

ZIP 26833 in Maysville, West Virginia (WV, zone 6b, lows, 5 to 0°F) gets more moderate cold but still loses citrus, palms, and tender crape myrtles. In practice, buyers here lean toward hardier flowering trees like dogwoods and redbuds. San Antonio's warmth allows you to choose from a much broader palette, from Meyer lemon to sago palm.

The takeaway: your ZIP's mild winters give you the freedom to grow trees that neighbors in colder zones can only dream about.
