District of Columbia (DC) sits in zones 7b to 8a with winter lows of 5 to 15 F. That climate supports palms and tropicals. In practice, buyers here lean toward broadleaf evergreens and warm-season flowering trees. For your cart, that means those options are not viable in Washburn County. You need zone 4 hardy trees instead.

In practice, buyers here lean toward lemons and oranges in containers. For your cart, that means fruit choices are different. Honeycrisp Apple suits your cold zone, but not citrus.
