Frequently Asked Questions

When do trees ship to Los Angeles?

Orders to zone 10 areas are scheduled from fall through early spring, avoiding peak heat. For ZIP 90013, that typically means late September through early April. Your tree arrives during the milder part of the year so it can settle in before summer.

What are the best shade trees for Los Angeles?

Mexican White Oak is a top performer in zone 10. It grows fast, provides a broad canopy, and stays semi-evergreen in your mild winters. Other oaks like Southern Live Oak also work, but Mexican White Oak adapts well to the local heat and dry spells.

What size do the trees arrive at?

Trees ship at a usable landscape size, typically 4 to 8 feet tall depending on the species. They come in a container or with a root ball, ready for planting. You get a mature-enough tree that makes an immediate impact.

How Los Angeles Compares to Other Areas

Compared to other parts of the country, your zone 10b site in Los Angeles is warm enough that Japanese maples can struggle without extra care. Take ZIP 37357 in Morrison, Tennessee (TN) zone 7b, typical winter lows 5 to 10 F. That cold tolerance is missing here, so Japanese maples may need afternoon shade. In practice, buyers here lean toward crape myrtles and semi-evergreen oaks for consistent color without the risk.

Now look at ZIP 76935 in Christoval, Texas (TX) zone 8a, typical winter lows 10 to 15 F. That area can grow many fruit and citrus varieties that need a cold snap. Your zone 10 winters are milder, which keeps frost from killing blooms but also reduces the chill some fruits require. That gap changes the local shortlist to olives and figs, which fruit reliably without a hard freeze.

Finally, ZIP 54413 in Babcock, Wisconsin (WI) zone 4b, typical winter lows minus 25 to minus 20 F. Palms and tropicals simply cannot survive there year-round. Your zone 10 lows allow Pygmy Date Palm and other tropicals to thrive outdoors with minimal protection. For your cart, that means you have access to a broader palette of palms and subtropicals than most of the country.
