How Los Angeles Compares to Other Areas

Zone 10 in Los Angeles is warm and dry. Compare that to other climates and the tree choices shift.

ZIP 37180 in Unionville, Tennessee (TN) sits in zone 7b with winter lows of 5 to 10 F. That cold rules out most palms and tropicals. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-hardy evergreens and deciduous shade trees. For your cart, that means you can plant Mediterranean Fan Palms and other tropicals that would freeze in Unionville. Your mild lows open up a much wider palette of palms and subtropical species.

ZIP 77302 in Conroe, Texas (TX) is zone 9a with lows of 20 to 25 F. Their winters are colder but still mild enough for some citrus and figs. For your cart, that means you can grow Chicago Hardy Figs and Arbequina Olives with less risk of winter dieback. Conroe buyers have to baby their fruit trees through occasional freezes; you do not.

ZIP 98936 in Moxee, Washington (WA) is zone 7a with lows of 0 to 5 F. That cold eliminates many flowering ornamentals that need warmth. That gap changes the local shortlist to: drought-tolerant bloomers like Desert Willow are off the table for Moxee but thrive in your low-maintenance zone 10. Your summer heat and mild winters let you enjoy flowering trees that would not survive a hard freeze.

For Los Angeles buyers, the contrast means your cart can lean toward heat-loving, drought-tolerant species that would struggle in colder zones. Focus on trees that handle dry summers and deliver the tropical or desert look you want.
