Frequently Asked Questions

When do trees ship to Sunnyvale?

Trees ship from fall through early spring for zone 10 areas like Sunnyvale. That schedule avoids the hottest months and gives trees time to establish before summer. Orders placed during the shipping window typically arrive within a few weeks.

What are the best shade trees for Sunnyvale?

The Mexican White Oak is a top choice for fast shade in zone 10. It stays semi-evergreen through mild winters and grows quickly. Other good options include the Natchez Crape Myrtle for a smaller shade effect and the Leyland Cypress for a privacy screen that also provides some overhead cover.

What size do the trees arrive at?

Trees are large and nursery-grown, typically 5 feet tall or more with a well-developed root system. They come in containers or as balled-and-burlapped, ready to plant. Exact size varies by species, but each tree is landscape-ready when it arrives.

What is the 1-Year Thrive Guarantee?

If a tree does not survive its first year in the ground, Arbor Buddy will replace it free of charge. The guarantee covers trees shipped to ZIP 94085. You just need to provide a photo of the dead tree. It gives you peace of mind when ordering online.

How Sunnyvale Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 37861 in Rutledge, Tennessee (TN) is zone 7b with winter lows of 5 to 10 degrees F. That climate rules out most palms and tropicals, as well as borderline zone 8 species. Here in zone 10a, you can grow the Pygmy Date Palm and the Arbequina Olive without the same risk. In practice, buyers here lean toward warm-season flowering trees and cold-tender fruit that would not survive in Rutledge.

ZIP 78619 in Driftwood, Texas (TX) is zone 8b with winter lows of 15 to 20 degrees F. That gap changes the local shortlist to trees that can handle lower temperatures and drier heat. For you, the Cold Hardy Avocado and the Mexican White Oak are safe choices that would struggle in a zone 8b winter. The practical difference is that your fruit and citrus options are broader, you can grow avocados and olives that would need a protected microclimate in Driftwood.

ZIP 54123 in Forest Junction, Wisconsin (WI) is zone 5b with winter lows of -15 to -10 degrees F. Palms and tropicals are not an option there. Here, you can plant the Pygmy Date Palm as a landscape accent, something unthinkable for a Wisconsin yard. For your cart, that means you can confidently order palms and tropicals that would never survive a zone 5b winter.

Together, these contrasts show that your mild winters open up a far wider palette of trees than many other areas.
