Trees for Zone 9 in Stockton

Stockton sits in hardiness zone 9b, with typical winter lows between 25 and 30 degrees Fahrenheit. That means the cold rarely rules out trees that need mild winters.

The valley's Mediterranean climate brings warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters. During the hottest months, afternoon temperatures often top 95 degrees, so drought tolerance and heat resistance are important.

Cold-hardy conifers and deciduous trees dominate there.
