Clethra delavayi, Viburnum x carlcephalum & Dipelta floribunda
Wish I had your climate! Upper limits are easily reached here with such
trees as white birch, sugar maples, and Tamaracks... they just hate our warm
nights.

I note you say you're in 9a-- all the books I've read indicate Viburnum
x
carlcephalum is only good as warm as Zone 8...

Dave, IME, upper hardiness "limits" are not very meaningful. While they
may
definitely have some bearing in those zones that get very hot summers with
high humidity, in more temperate zones, they just don't seem to apply. For
example I grow all manner of plants which are listed upto zone 7 and I am
in
zone 8 (soon to be bumped up to 9). But then, high summer temps with high
humidity are not a concern here.
