Frequently Asked Questions
When do trees ship to Gilbert?
Orders for zone 9 ship during fall through early spring, avoiding peak summer heat. That means trees arrive when conditions are mild, giving them time to settle in before the hottest weather. Gilbert's ZIP 85233 falls in that same shipping window.
Which trees grow best in Gilbert's hardiness zone?
All six featured trees are zone-matched to 9b. Mexican Sycamore, Skyrocket Juniper, Krauter's Vesuvius Cherry Plum, Cold Hardy Avocado, Mediterranean Fan Palm, and Pink Dawn Chitalpa all handle the typical winter lows of 25 to 30 F and the dry heat. You can also explore flowering ornamentals and fruit trees bred for low chill hours.
What size do the trees arrive at?
Each tree is nursery-grown to a usable landscape size ready for planting. They are large enough to make an immediate impact but still manageable for a homeowner to install. Precise heights vary by species, but you can expect a substantial tree, not a tiny seedling.
What is the 1-Year Thrive Guarantee?
If your tree does not survive its first year in the ground, Arbor Buddy will replace it free of charge. The guarantee covers the tree itself, not labor or shipping for removal. It gives you confidence to order online, knowing your investment is protected for one full growing season.

How Gilbert Compares to Other Areas
Comparing Gilbert to other regions shows why your zone matters when choosing trees.
ZIP 66870 in Virgil, Kansas (KS) sits in zone 6b with winter lows of -5 to 0 F. Many plants that thrive in Gilbert cannot handle that cold. For example, a Japanese maple would struggle in Virgil's harsh winters but grows well here in 9b. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward species that can take both heat and mild frost, while Virgil's buyers need extreme cold-hardiness.
ZIP 42715 in Breeding, Kentucky (KY) is zone 7a with lows of 0 to 5 F. Summers there are humid, unlike Gilbert's dry heat. The practical difference is that in Breeding, trees like the Cold Hardy Avocado would need winter protection, while here in Gilbert it can grow unguarded most years. Locally, that points buyers toward the avocado as a reliable fruit option without extra fuss.
ZIP 50468 in Rockford, Iowa (IA) is zone 5a with lows of -20 to -15 F. Drought tolerance barely matters there, but here in ZIP 85233 it is a daily concern. Species like Mediterranean Fan Palm and Pink Dawn Chitalpa that laugh at dry soils in Gilbert would never survive an Iowa winter. Locally, that points buyers toward these drought-tough choices that make sense for your low-moisture climate.
What this means for you: Gilbert's 9b lets you skip most cold-hardy compromises. You can focus on heat and drought tolerance and still grow fruit and tropical accents that would be impossible in colder zones.
