I just found a resource produced by the California Energy Commission
that "lists the climate zones associated with several thousand
California cities."
(
http://www.energy.ca.gov/maps/climate_zone_map.html)
It lists my zone as Zone 12, while the Western Garden Book lists my
zone as Zone 9. Who am I to believe?

(Zone 9, no, make that 12, no...)
