Choosing trees by goal

Shade and canopy. Shumard Oak or Texas Ash. Both need room to spread; avoid planting under power lines.

Privacy and screening. Hetzii Columnaris Chinese Juniper. Grows upright but slow; expect several years to reach full height.

Flowering and curb appeal. Dynamite Crape Myrtle. Blooms best in full sun; prune in late winter to shape.

Grow your own fruit. Cold Hardy Avocado Tree. Self-fertile but young trees may need protection from a rare frost.

Small spaces and accents. Jelly Palm. Stays slow-growing; do not expect a tall canopy from this palm.

Frequently Asked Questions

How cold does it get in Sunnyvale in winter?

Winter lows in Sunnyvale usually hover between 25 and 30 degrees Fahrenheit. That puts you in zone 9b, where a light frost is possible but deep freezes are rare. Most trees sold here can handle that without extra protection.

When do trees ship to Sunnyvale?

Trees ship during the fall-to-early-spring stretch, avoiding the peak summer heat. This timing gives the roots a chance to establish before hot weather arrives. You order now and we schedule delivery for the right window for your zone.

What size do the trees arrive at?

All trees arrive at a usable landscape size, typically in a 3- to 7-gallon container or as a balled-and-burlapped specimen large enough to make an immediate impact. The exact size varies by species, but each tree is nursery-grown and ready to plant.

What is the 1-Year Thrive Guarantee?

The guarantee covers your tree for one full year after delivery. If the tree dies from any cause during that year, we will replace it at no cost to you. No questions asked.

How Sunnyvale Compares to Other Areas

Choosing trees for Sunnyvale becomes easier when you see how your zone differs from colder climates. The contrast shapes which species make sense for your yard.

ZIP 24033 in Roanoke, Virginia (VA) sits in zone 7b with winter lows of 5 to 10 degrees F. That gap changes the local shortlist to Japanese maples, which need a cold period to color up. In your zone 9, the same maples often struggle. Your mild winters let you grow heat-loving trees like crape myrtle that Roanoke can only keep as marginal.

ZIP 05603 in Montpelier, Vermont (VT) is zone 4b with lows down to -25 to -20 degrees F. Privacy and screening options there are limited to evergreens like Colorado blue spruce. For your cart, that means you have a much wider range of screening plants, from junipers to tropical-looking palms, that simply will not survive a Vermont winter.

ZIP 84106 in Salt Lake City, Utah (UT) is zone 7b with lows of 5 to 10 degrees F and a dry, cold climate. Flowering color there leans on cold-hardy lilacs and crabapples. In practice, buyers here lean toward crape myrtles, which bloom all summer without a hard freeze. Your warmer zone also opens the door to avocados and jelly palms that would freeze in Salt Lake City.

What this means for your Sunnyvale cart: you can pick from heat-tolerant shade trees, flowering shrubs, and even subtropical fruit trees that would be risky or impossible in colder ZIPs. Your choice is bigger, not smaller.

Freight delivery and the Thrive Guarantee

Freight trucks serve Sunnyvale and the surrounding ZIPs 94085, 94086, 94088, and 94089. Zone 9 orders travel in the fall-to-early-spring stretch, not peak summer, so the trees arrive when planting conditions are best. Every tree is nursery-grown to a usable landscape size and shipped directly to your address. Before delivery day, check:

  • Someone will be home to receive the tree and inspect it.
  • The street has room for a freight truck to stop and turn around.
  • You have a spot picked out where you want the tree dropped.
  • Watch out for long or narrow driveways, soft ground, and low branches or wires that could block access.

Your tree is backed by the 1-Year Thrive Guarantee: if it does not survive its first year, we replace it free of charge.

Buying trees in Sunnyvale 94087: what locals should know

Ordering a large tree online is not like ordering a lamp. Here is what is worth knowing before you buy, from reading your hardiness zone to what actually shows up on the truck.

How to read your hardiness zone

Sunnyvale 94087 sits in USDA zone 9b. Your zone describes the coldest winter a tree can reliably survive. In a warm zone the question flips: winter rarely kills a tree, but summer heat can. Heat and drought tolerance matter as much as the zone number.

Typical winter lows here run about 25 to 30 F. Half-zones matter at the edges: two steps on the map are about five winter degrees, which is enough to decide whether a borderline pick belongs in your cart.

What freight delivery actually means

Your tree arrives large, nursery-grown and at a usable landscape size, secured to a pallet and delivered curbside or as close as the truck can safely get. Before delivery day, run through this quick checklist:

  • Someone can be home to receive the tree and look it over on arrival.
  • A freight truck can reach your street, with room to stop or turn around.
  • You know where you want it dropped: curbside, or as close as the driver can safely get.
  • Access watch-outs are handled: narrow driveways, soft ground after rain, low branches or wires.

The guarantee, in plain terms

If a tree does not survive its first year, we replace it free, shipping included. The promise works because every tree ships zone-matched and nursery-grown, so it arrives set up to succeed in your climate rather than gambling against it.

Coverage runs a full year from delivery. If something goes wrong, contact the team and they arrange the replacement. No store-credit games, no fine-print maze.
