San Diego County spans a remarkable range of growing conditions in a short distance. Near the coast the marine layer holds summer temperatures down and keeps humidity up; twenty miles inland the same species faces hot, dry valley air and far higher water demand. Advice that is sound in Point Loma can be wrong in El Cajon, and the most common mistake here is treating the county as one climate.
The defining local pest problem is the goldspotted oak borer. It was first detected in San Diego County in 2004 and linked to widespread oak mortality from 2008, and it has since contributed to the death of tens of thousands of trees, principally coast live oak, canyon live oak and California black oak. The single most effective thing a homeowner can do is refuse to move oak firewood — the beetle travels in cut wood far more efficiently than it flies.
Autumn brings Santa Ana winds and elevated fire risk, and much of the region's older planted canopy is eucalyptus, which carries heavy limbs and sheds them. Structural pruning done in the cool season is worth considerably more than anything attempted once the wind is already forecast.
