What size do the trees arrive at?

Can I grow fruit or citrus trees in Mesa?

How Mesa Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 84606 in Provo, Utah sits in zone 7a with winter lows 0 to 5 F. That cold kills most palms and tropicals. In practice, buyers here lean toward hardy evergreens and deciduous trees that can take deep freezes. For your cart, that means Mesa's zone 9b is far more forgiving. You can plant Sago Palm and other accent plants that would not survive a Provo winter.

ZIP 24656 in Vansant, Virginia is also zone 7a with lows 0 to 5 F. That zone limits fruit tree options to extra-hardy varieties. For your cart, that means Mesa's mild winters allow the Elberta Peach and other chill-requiring fruit trees to thrive. Citrus like Meyer lemon may need protection during the coldest snaps, but many fruit options are wide open here.

ZIP 05070 in South Strafford, Vermont is zone 5a with lows -20 to -15 F. That gap changes the local shortlist to mostly cold-hardy conifers and bare-root trees. Flowering color from trees like redbud is rare in that climate. In Mesa, you get vivid spring blooms from the Merlot Redbud and many other flowering ornamentals. The takeaway for Mesa buyers: your zone gives you a huge advantage for variety. You can plant things that northern gardeners can only dream of.
