How Altadena Compares to Other Areas

Altadena's zone 10b is mild compared to many other climates. Here is how tree choices shift in three different areas.

ZIP 80281 in Denver, Colorado (CO), zone 6a, winter lows -10 to -5 F. That cold eliminates most tropicals and many flowering trees. Locally, that points buyers toward cold-hardy conifers and deciduous shade trees that can handle deep freezes. Altadena's buyers never worry about that level of cold.

ZIP 06439 in Hadlyme, Connecticut (CT), zone 6b, winter lows -5 to 0 F, plus humid summers. Heat and humidity tolerance matters there. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that handle dry spells and occasional frost, not muggy summers. Natchez Crape Myrtle and Bald Cypress do well in both climates, but Altadena's dry heat is easier on crape myrtle bark.

ZIP 31044 in Jeffersonville, Georgia (GA), zone 8b, winter lows 15 to 20 F. Warmer than CT but colder than Altadena. Drought tolerance is less critical there because rain is plentiful. The practical difference is that Altadena's trees need to be more drought-adapted. Goldcrest Monterey Cypress and Majesty Palm, which struggle in Atlanta's humidity but thrive in zone 10's dry summers, are perfect for 91001.

What does this mean for your order? Altadena's mild winters open the door to palms, tropicals, and citrus that buyers in colder zones cannot enjoy. Focus on trees listed for zone 10 and you'll get the best results.
