Choosing trees by goal

Shade and canopy. Autumn Blaze Red Maple. Fast-growing, but needs some space for its mature spread.

Privacy and screening. Emerald Green Arborvitae. Narrow form fits tight spots, but plant several for a solid screen.

Flowering and curb appeal. Consider flowering trees from our catalog. Many flowering trees need milder zones, but some zone 2 options exist.

Grow your own fruit. Honeycrisp Apple Tree. Needs a second apple variety nearby to set fruit, like a crabapple.

Small spaces and accents. Skyrocket Rocky Mountain Juniper. Narrow and upright, but grows slowly so patience pays.

How North Pole Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 93390 in Bakersfield, California (CA) sits in zone 9b with winter lows of 25 to 30 F. That zone supports citrus and palms that would not survive your cold. Locally, that points buyers toward cold-hardy evergreens like Eastern Redcedar instead.

The difference is in the extremes: your trees need to withstand -50, not just light frost.

ZIP 80823 in Karval, Colorado (CO) is zone 5b with lows -15 to -10 F. That is still cold but not as harsh as zone 2a. The practical difference is that some trees labeled zone 5 may not make it through your winters.

Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward proven zone 2 performers like Brodie Eastern Red Cedar and Emerald Green Arborvitae.

ZIP 06538 in New Haven, Connecticut (CT) is zone 7a with lows 0 to 5 F. That zone has heat and humidity in summer, which your area lacks. The practical difference is that your trees face a short, cool growing season rather than long hot summers.

Locally, that favors early-fruiting apples like Honeycrisp that ripen before frost.

For buyers in North Pole, these contrasts mean sticking to trees listed as hardy to zone 2 gives you the best chance of success.

Buying trees in North Pole 99705: what locals should know

Ordering a large tree online is not like ordering a lamp. Here is what is worth knowing before you buy, from reading your hardiness zone to what actually shows up on the truck.

How to read your hardiness zone

North Pole 99705 sits in USDA zone 2a. Your zone describes the coldest winter a tree can reliably survive. In a cold-winter area, the zone number is the whole ballgame: a tree rated one zone too warm can look fine all summer and fail in its first January.

Typical winter lows here run about -50 to -45 F. Half-zones matter at the edges: two steps on the map are about five winter degrees, which is enough to decide whether a borderline pick belongs in your cart.

What freight delivery actually means

Your tree arrives large, nursery-grown and at a usable landscape size, secured to a pallet and delivered curbside or as close as the truck can safely get. Before delivery day, run through this quick checklist:

  • Someone can be home to receive the tree and look it over on arrival.
  • A freight truck can reach your street, with room to stop or turn around.
  • You know where you want it dropped: curbside, or as close as the driver can safely get.
  • Access watch-outs are handled: narrow driveways, soft ground after rain, low branches or wires.

The guarantee, in plain terms

If a tree does not survive its first year, we replace it free, shipping included. The promise works because every tree ships zone-matched and nursery-grown, so it arrives set up to succeed in your climate rather than gambling against it.

Coverage runs a full year from delivery. If something goes wrong, contact the team and they arrange the replacement. No store-credit games, no fine-print maze.
