How Palo Alto Compares to Other Areas

In Barrington, Rhode Island (ZIP 02806), zone 7a winter lows drop to 0 to 5 degrees F. That cold limits Japanese maples to hardier varieties. Locally, that points buyers toward Japanese maples that can handle the cold, not the tender species. Palo Alto's zone 9b allows a broader range of Japanese maples to thrive through mild winters.

Bruce, South Dakota (ZIP 57220) endures extreme cold with winter lows of -25 to -20 degrees F in zone 4b. Only the hardiest trees survive there. The practical difference is that Palo Alto's zone 9b permits many more species, including citrus and palms, that would freeze in South Dakota.

Suffolk, Virginia (ZIP 23437) sees winter lows of 10 to 15 degrees F in zone 8a. Summers there are humid, not dry. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward drought-tolerant trees that handle Palo Alto's dry heat, unlike the moisture-loving species that suit Virginia.

For Palo Alto buyers, these contrasts highlight the importance of picking trees matched to zone 9b's mild frost and dry summers.
