We love in the Bay Area in West Marin County. We get severe frost and low 20’s in winter.
It is an entirely different microclimate from San Rafael which is just 20 minutes away!
I love the diversity of the Bay, and really want to grow avocados!!

It’s in USDA Zone 10 and although it might be on the colder side of zone 10 because of the mild daytime highs, frost never occurs and winter overnight lows are mostly in the 40s. People grow ice cream banana and mango trees in the Sacramento valley area and avocado trees are not uncommon. My uncle is even further up north in Sutter County and has a fruiting avocado tree. Proper soil ph and drainage is the bigger challenge in Northern California than climate.
