How Los Angeles Compares to Other Areas

Comparing Los Angeles to other regions shows how climate drives tree choices. ZIP 18766 in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania (PA) sits in zone 7a with winter lows of 0 to 5 degrees F. That cold limits Japanese maples to sheltered spots, whereas in Los Angeles's zone 10b they grow freely. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward heat-tolerant evergreens and palms instead of cold-hardy conifers.

ZIP 29206 in Columbia, South Carolina (SC) is zone 8b with winter lows of 15 to 20 degrees F. Columbia has higher humidity and summer heat than Los Angeles. The practical difference is that in Columbia, disease-resistant crape myrtles are essential, while in Los Angeles's dry air, almost any crape myrtle thrives with less risk of mildew.

ZIP 57046 in Mission Hill, South Dakota (SD) is zone 5a with winter lows of -20 to -15 degrees F. That extreme cold rules out most fruiting trees and many ornamentals. Locally, that points buyers toward tough, drought-tolerant species like Mexican White Oak and Chinese Windmill Palm, which handle both mild winters and dry summers.

For Los Angeles, the contrast means you can enjoy a wider palette of trees, but you still need to choose species suited to warm, low-humidity conditions.
