How San Jose Compares to Other Areas

San Jose's zone 9b, with winter lows of 25 to 30 degrees F, gives you planting options that colder areas lack. Three comparisons show the difference.

ZIP 53944 in Lyndon Station, Wisconsin (WI) sits in zone 5a with winter lows of -20 to -15 F. That cold rules out many flowering trees that bloom early. For your cart, that means San Jose can enjoy spring flowers like Eastern Redbud, while Lyndon Station must choose hardier, later-blooming species.

ZIP 25510 in Culloden, West Virginia (WV) is zone 7a with winter lows of 0 to 5 F. That colder zone limits which evergreens survive reliably. That gap changes the local shortlist to dense conifers that handle deeper cold. In San Jose, the Blue Atlas Cedar thrives without extra protection.
