How Amarillo Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 85553 in Tonto Basin, Arizona (AZ) sits in zone 9a with winter lows of 20 to 25 F. That warmth allows palms and tropicals to grow unprotected. In practice, buyers here lean toward citrus, bougainvillea, and other heat-loving plants. For your cart in zone 7, that means you skip the tropicals and focus on cold-hardy shade trees and evergreens.

ZIP 32227 in Jacksonville, Florida (FL) is zone 9b with lows of 25 to 30 F. The mild winters make citrus and many sub-tropical fruits viable without protection. For your cart, that means you need to choose fruit trees that tolerate occasional freezes, such as Chicago Hardy Fig, rather than true citrus.

ZIP 55414 in Minneapolis, Minnesota (MN) falls in zone 5a with winter lows of -20 to -15 F. That extreme cold limits flowering trees to very hardy species like crabapples and serviceberries. That gap changes the local shortlist to include more cold-sensitive flowering options in Amarillo, such as Krauter's Vesuvius Cherry Plum. Overall, Amarillo's zone 7a offers a wider tree selection than northern zones but avoids the tropical focus of southern areas.
