Frequently Asked Questions
How cold does it get in Tucson in winter?
Winter lows in Tucson are in USDA hardiness zone 9a, with temperatures rarely dropping below freezing for long. Most trees on this page are hardy to zone 9 or lower, so they survive typical winters.
When do trees ship to Tucson?
Shipments go out during the cooler months, from fall to early spring. This timing helps trees establish roots before summer heat arrives.
What is the 1-Year Thrive Guarantee?
It means Arbor Buddy will replace any tree for free if it does not survive its first year. Just let us know, and we send a replacement. The guarantee covers the tree, not planting or care.

How Tucson Compares to Other Areas
Consider Narragansett, Rhode Island (ZIP 02882). It grows in zone 7a with winter lows of 0 to 5 F. Japanese maples are a natural fit there, but they struggle in Tucson's dry heat. Locally, that points buyers toward crape myrtle or redbud for ornamental color instead.
Next, Enning, South Dakota (ZIP 57737) sits in zone 4b with lows of -25 to -20 F. Only the most cold-hardy trees survive there, like the Brodie Eastern Red Cedar. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward species that can handle both cold snaps and summer heat, giving you more options.
Finally, The Plains, Virginia (ZIP 20198) is zone 7a with winter lows 0 to 5 F and summer humidity. That climate suits many flowering trees. The practical difference is that Tucson's dry air lets you grow olive and palm species that would suffer in Virginia's humidity. So your choices are different here.
These contrasts show that Tucson's zone 9a opens up a set of heat-loving, drought-tolerant trees that cold or humid areas cannot support. That means you can confidently plant an Arbequina Olive or a Sago Palm.
