How Los Gatos Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 19958 in Lewes, Delaware (DE) sits in zone 7b with winter lows of 5 to 10°F. That colder climate restricts palms and tropicals. Your Los Gatos zone 9b opens up options like the Chinese Windmill Palm. The practical difference is that drought-tolerant junipers like Hetz Columnaris do well in both zones, but your warmer winters allow a broader selection.

ZIP 81230 in Gunnison, Colorado (CO) is zone 5b with winter lows of -15 to -10°F. Those harsh winters rule out many ornamental trees that thrive here.
