How San Francisco Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 66612 in Topeka, Kansas (KS) sits in zone 6b with winter lows from, 5 to 0 F. That climate limits Japanese maples and other cold-tender trees. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward hardy species like oak or pine. In San Francisco, you can grow Japanese maples without winter kill.

ZIP 40292 in Louisville, Kentucky (KY) is zone 7a with lows from 0 to 5 F. The practical difference is heat and humidity tolerance. Louisville gets hot, humid summers that stress some trees. San Francisco's cool summers avoid that stress, so trees like Leyland Cypress and crape myrtle are more reliable.

ZIP 52766 in Nichols, Iowa (IA) is zone 5b with lows from, 15 to, 10 F. Locally, that points buyers toward drought-tolerant evergreens that survive bitter cold. In San Francisco, you never need that level of cold hardiness, so palms and tropicals are easy additions to your landscape.

For buyers in San Francisco, these contrasts mean you can choose from a much broader palette of mild-climate trees. Your biggest concern is not winter cold but matching the tree to your specific sunlight and soil.
