How Van Nuys Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 84409 in Ogden, Utah (UT) sits in zone 7a with winter lows of 0 to 5 F. That cold rules out most palms and tropicals. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-hardy evergreens and deciduous shade trees. Your zone 10a allows Mediterranean Fan Palm and other tropical accents that would never survive Ogden's winters.

ZIP 37754 in Heiskell, Tennessee (TN) is zone 7b with winter lows of 5 to 10 F. That climate supports fruit trees like apples and pears but kills citrus. For your cart, that means Van Nuys buyers can grow figs like Chicago Hardy Fig without worry. The warmer lows let you keep fig trees productive year after year.

ZIP 76548 in Harker Heights, Texas (TX) is zone 8b with winter lows of 15 to 20 F. That zone still gets occasional freezes that damage flowering ornamentals like Desert Willow. That gap changes the local shortlist to more cold-tolerant bloomers. In Van Nuys, Desert Willow blooms freely from late spring through fall with no frost risk.

What does this mean for your cart? Your zone 10a opens up a broader palette: palms, tropicals, reliable figs, and heat-loving bloomers that would struggle or die in colder regions.
