Angels, CA 95222 Frost Dates
When can you plant in Angels, CA?
Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 02/20, roughly 176 days out. The first fall frost typically arrives around 12/11, about 290 frost-free days later.
The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Angels in Zone 9a (20 to 25°F average annual minimum); frost dates are NOAA's 1991-2020 station normal, not this year's forecast.

Why 02/20 isn't a guarantee
02/20 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 01/10 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 04/07 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
