Frequently Asked Questions
How cold does it get in Lexington in winter?
Typical winter lows in ZIP 35648 run about 5 to 10 degrees F. That puts you in zone 7b, which is warm enough for most trees that dislike deep cold. A few nights may dip lower, but brief cold snaps rarely harm established trees.
When do trees ship to Lexington?
Orders to zone 7 areas are scheduled for spring and fall arrival windows. That means you will receive your tree during the optimal planting season for your climate. We coordinate with freight carriers to hit those windows.
What size do the trees arrive at?
Trees are nursery-grown and shipped at a usable landscape size, typically 4 to 6 feet tall or larger. The exact size depends on the species. They arrive in a container or with a root ball ready for planting.
What is the 1-Year Thrive Guarantee?
It means if your tree does not survive its first year in the ground, Arbor Buddy sends you a replacement tree free of charge. The guarantee covers trees that are planted correctly and given reasonable care. It gives you peace of mind for your investment.

How Lexington Compares to Other Areas
Tree selection shifts when you compare Lexington to colder or drier regions. ZIP 05669 in Roxbury, Vermont (VT) sits in zone 5a with winter lows of -20 to -15 F. That extreme cold rules out many traditional southern trees. Locally, that points buyers toward Japanese maples, which are hardy in zone 5 but can struggle in warmer, humid climates. In Lexington, Japanese maples need careful siting with afternoon shade to avoid leaf scorch. Cold-hardiness isn't the issue here; heat and humidity are.
ZIP 57750 in Interior, South Dakota (SD) is also zone 5a with similar cold lows. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward cold-tolerant evergreens and hardy fruit trees like apple. In Lexington, the warmer conditions let you choose from many more fruit trees, including peaches and plums. Cold-hardiness is rarely a limiting factor in your yard.
ZIP 54214 in Francis Creek, Wisconsin (WI) is zone 5b with winter lows of -15 to -10 F. The practical difference is that Francis Creek sees longer cold winters and shorter growing seasons. Lexington's longer, hotter summers challenge trees differently: heat stress and humidity matter more than winter survival. Disease resistance and drought tolerance become key for your choices.
The bottom line for Lexington buyers: focus on heat tolerance and summer performance rather than winter hardiness. The trees on this page are selected with that in mind.
Freight delivery and the Thrive Guarantee
Every tree ships by freight directly to your home in zip 35648. The trees arrive at a nursery-grown landscape size, ready to plant. Before shipping, your tree is zone-matched to 7b so it's already suited to your climate. And every tree is backed by our 1-Year Thrive Guarantee: if it doesn't survive its first year, we replace it free.
Orders to zone 7 areas are scheduled for spring and fall arrival windows. When your tree arrives, a freight truck will deliver it curbside. Someone needs to be home to receive it and inspect it for damage. The driver can drop the container at a spot you choose, as long as access is clear.
Before delivery day, check:
- Someone will be home to receive and look the tree over.
- A freight truck can reach your street with room to stop and turn around.
- Where you want the tree dropped is marked and accessible.
- Watch for long or narrow driveways, soft ground, and low branches or wires that could block the truck.
