Frequently Asked Questions

How cold does it get in Los Angeles in winter?

Zone 10b means winter lows typically range from 35 to 40 degrees F. That is a shallow frost at worst, not a deep freeze. Most tree species that need a mild winter, like citrus and figs, grow well here as long as you avoid cold pockets.

When do trees ship to Los Angeles?

Your zone 10 order ships in a cool-season window rather than high summer. That timing avoids extreme heat during transit and gives the tree a better start when planted. You get a shipping date within that window once you order.

What is the 1-Year Thrive Guarantee?

It is a free replacement promise. If a tree you bought from Arbor Buddy does not survive its first year after planting, we replace it at no cost to you. This covers the tree itself, not the labor. It gives you confidence to order trees online without the risk.

Can I grow fruit or citrus trees in Los Angeles?

Yes, you can. The Chicago Hardy Fig is a standout for your zone. Citrus like Meyer Lemon can succeed, but be aware that temperatures below about 20 F can damage them, rare here but possible in a cold snap. Plant in a warm spot away from wind, and you can harvest your own fruit.

Order With the First Year Covered

Shade, privacy, flowering, or fruit, every tree you order from Arbor Buddy is matched to your Los Angeles zone 10b and backed by the 1-Year Thrive Guarantee.

How Los Angeles Compares to Other Areas

Compared to colder climates, your tree options are much broader. Let's look at three other areas to see the difference.

ZIP 53561 in Merrimac, Wisconsin (WI). Zone 5a, winter lows -20 to -15 F. That kind of cold kills most Japanese maples, species that need mild winters. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-hardy maples like the Emperor 1 Japanese Maple, which can take the deep freeze. For your cart, that means you can grow Japanese maples that would fail there. You have many more options for delicate foliage and fall color. In Los Angeles, you can enjoy laceleaf Japanese maples without worry.

ZIP 99338 in Kennewick, Washington (WA). Zone 7b, winter lows 5 to 10 F. That climate grows many palms, but not the truly tropical ones. Palms like the Mediterranean Fan Palm are marginal there, they may survive but often need winter protection. Locally, that points buyers toward more cold-hardy conifers. For your cart, that means palms and tropicals are a sure thing here. In Los Angeles, you can plant the Mediterranean Fan Palm and expect it to thrive, not just survive. That gap changes the local shortlist to include palms as mainstay choices.

ZIP 82834 in Buffalo, Wyoming (WY). Zone 5a, winter lows -20 to -15 F. That deep cold rules out most fruit and citrus. Even cold-hardy figs need extra care to survive some winters. In practice, buyers here lean toward apples and plums bred for extreme cold. For your cart, that means you can grow fruit, like the Chicago Hardy Fig, that would need winter wrapping there. You can also try citrus in a protected microclimate, though a real frost can still damage it. The practical takeaway: Los Angeles gardeners have a much longer fruit list, from figs to avocados to lemons, as long as they pick zone-right varieties and avoid frost pockets.

The contrasts show one clear thing: your zone 10b opens up choices that other ZIPs can only dream of. Shade, privacy, fruit, and ornamentals, you have a broad palette.
