How Vancouver Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 96111 in Floriston, California (CA) is zone 6b with typical winter lows -5 to 0 F. That climate gets much colder than what you see around ZIP 98685. Locally, that points buyers toward hardier trees like Chinese Pistachio, which shrugs off both cold and heat. In Floriston, you would need extra winter protection for avocados or palms. Here, they grow without fuss.

ZIP 80211 in Denver, Colorado (CO) sits in zone 6a with lows -10 to -5 F. That zone pushes the choice toward trees that handle very cold winters and dry summers. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that tolerate humidity and won't scorch in our occasional heat spikes, such as Ruby Falls Redbud and Cold Hardy Avocado. Denver's dry air limits what you can grow without extra watering.

ZIP 06265 in South Willington, Connecticut (CT) is zone 6b with lows -5 to 0 F. That area has colder winters and summer droughts that can stress trees.
