How San Francisco Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 66611 in Topeka, Kansas (KS) sits in zone 6b with winter lows from -5 to 0 F. That cold kills most Japanese maples without heavy protection. In San Francisco, zone 10b means Japanese maples grow easily. The practical difference is that you can plant a Japanese maple here without worrying about winter damage, while in Topeka it needs sheltered placement or mulch.

ZIP 42170 in Woodburn, Kentucky (KY) is zone 7a with winter lows from 0 to 5 F. Drought tolerance matters less there because summer rain is more reliable. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that handle dry summers, like Desert Willow or Mondell Pine. In Woodburn, you'd lean toward trees that need more water.

ZIP 50517 in Bancroft, Iowa (IA) is zone 5a with winter lows from -20 to -15 F. Heat and humidity tolerance is not an issue there, the challenge is survival of extreme cold. Locally, that points buyers toward trees that dislike humidity, like Mondell Pine, which handles San Francisco's coastal air well. In Bancroft, you'd choose only hardy deciduous trees and avoid subtropicals.

For buyers in San Francisco, the contrasts mean you can grow a wider range of trees, including tropicals and drought-tolerant species, than most of the country.

Delivery to ZIP 94134 and nearby ZIPs 94129, 94130, 94131, 94132, 94133, 94137 comes by freight truck. A driver will need clear access to your driveway or a spot to stop and offload. Plan for someone to be home to receive the tree and inspect it on arrival.

Buying trees in San Francisco 94134: 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

San Francisco 94134 sits in USDA zone 10b. Your zone describes the coldest winter a tree can reliably survive. In a near-tropical zone almost nothing is too tender, so the filter works in reverse: it flags trees that need winter chill they will never get here.

Typical winter lows here run about 35 to 40 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.
