Frequently Asked Questions

When do trees ship to San Marino?

Your zone 10 order ships in a cool-season window rather than high summer. That typically means fall through early spring, so the tree roots in without heat stress. The exact timing depends on the species and your order date.

Does Arbor Buddy deliver trees to ZIP 91108?

Yes. Arbor Buddy ships large, nursery-grown trees to ZIP 91108 and the city's other ZIP 91118. A freight truck brings your tree directly to your San Marino address. Just make sure someone can receive it and that the truck can access your street.

What size do the trees arrive at?

Every tree arrives at a usable landscape size, typically 4 to 6 feet tall or larger depending on the species. They come balled-and-burlapped or in a container, ready to plant. You get a mature head start, not a tiny seedling.

What is the 1-Year Thrive Guarantee?

If your tree does not survive its first year in the ground, Arbor Buddy will replace it free. The guarantee covers the tree itself. It gives you peace of mind when ordering online, especially for a zone 10 yard where conditions can vary.

How San Marino Compares to Other Areas

Every ZIP has its own climate fingerprint. Here is how San Marino stacks up against three other locations, and what that means for your tree choices.

ZIP 29526 in Conway, South Carolina (SC) lies in zone 8b, with winter lows of 15 to 20 F. Those colder winters make Japanese maples a common choice. In Conway, you can grow laceleaf maples with confidence. Locally, that points buyers toward trees that tolerate our warmer winters, like Desert Willow or Texas Mountain Laurel, rather than maples that need more chill.

ZIP 57661 in Whitehorse, South Dakota (SD) sits in zone 4b, where winter lows drop to -25 to -20 F. That kind of cold rules out nearly all broadleaf evergreens and citrus. The practical difference is that while Whitehorse homeowners must pick extreme cold-hardy species like spruce or aspen, San Marino's zone 10a lets you grow palms, citrus, and subtropical bloomers year-round.

ZIP 15906 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania (PA) is zone 6b, with winter lows of -5 to 0 F. Those cold snaps stress drought-tolerant trees that love heat. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that can handle both summer heat and a real winter. In San Marino, drought tolerance is a bigger factor because our summers are dry and warm. Species like Desert Willow and Texas Mountain Laurel, which thrive with little water, make perfect sense here.

What these contrasts mean for your cart: San Marino's mild winters and warm summers let you focus on heat tolerance and water efficiency instead of frost survival. You can choose from a wider palette of palms, citrus, and flowering ornamentals than buyers in colder zones.
