How Van Nuys Compares to Other Areas

In Thorn Hill, Tennessee (ZIP 37881, Zone 7a), winter lows drop to 0 to 5 degrees F. That cold rules out many citrus and olive trees that grow easily in your area. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-hardy fruit like apples and pears instead of olives.

In Marfa, Texas (ZIP 79843, Zone 8a), typical winter lows are 10 to 15 degrees F. Palms and tropicals are more limited there; only the hardiest varieties survive. That gap changes the local shortlist to more cold-tolerant evergreens. Your ZIP 91411 yard can host palms like Pygmy Date Palm and Jelly Palm without worry.

In Altamont, Utah (ZIP 84001, Zone 5b), winter lows reach -15 to -10 degrees F. Privacy screening options are almost entirely deciduous or need winter protection. For your cart, that means you can choose from fast-growing evergreens like Leyland Cypress that would not survive in Utah.

For your own yard in Van Nuys, the contrast shows that your mild winters open up a much wider selection of trees, especially in fruit, palms, and flowering varieties.
