How Seattle Compares to Other Areas

Compare ZIP 38232 in Hornbeak, Tennessee (TN) zone 7b with winter lows 5 to 10 F. That extra cold limits tropicals like the Sago Palm. In practice, buyers here lean toward hardier evergreens and flowering trees.

ZIP 54859 in Minong, Wisconsin (WI) is zone 4a with lows -30 to -25 F. Citrus and avocados are out of the question. For your cart, that means a focus on cold-hardy apples and maples.
