Frequently Asked Questions

How cold does it get in San Jose in winter?

Winter lows in San Jose, especially in ZIP 95139, typically range from 25 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit. That puts the area in USDA hardiness zone 9b, which is mild enough for many subtropical trees but too cold for truly tropical species.

When do trees ship to San Jose?

Trees ship to San Jose during the fall-to-early-spring stretch, not during peak summer. That timing helps the tree adjust with less transplant stress. For ZIP 95139, this window runs roughly from October through March.

How San Jose Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 18825 in Jackson, Pennsylvania (PA) sits in zone 5b where winter lows drop to -15 to -10 degrees Fahrenheit. That climate rules out nearly all palms, citrus, and tender broadleaf evergreens. Japanese maples are a staple there because they need a deep winter chill. The practical difference is that Jackson gardeners must choose trees that can handle months of snow and ice. Locally, that points buyers toward cold-hardy conifers and maples rather than tropical-looking species.

ZIP 38004 in Atoka, Tennessee (TN) is zone 8a with winter lows of 10 to 15 F. That zone is borderline for many palms and can suffer late frosts that damage early-blooming trees. The practical difference is that Atoka gardeners contend with humid summers that push pest and disease pressure. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward disease-resistant varieties like Spartan Juniper and Desert Willow, which shrug off humidity better than many traditional ornamentals.

ZIP 84712 in Antimony, Utah (UT) is also zone 5b with lows of -15 to -10 F. It sits in a high desert with very low humidity. The practical difference is that Antimony gardeners prioritize extreme cold hardiness and drought tolerance above all else. Locally, that points buyers toward trees that can handle dry air and severe cold, such as junipers and certain oaks. For San Jose, those species also work, but you have the added freedom to grow tender palms and avocados that would freeze in Antimony.

What this means for your San Jose order: your zone 9b opens up a wider palette of options than most of the country, especially for fruit, palms, and flowering ornamentals that need mild winters.
