Frequently Asked Questions

Boise is in USDA hardiness zone 7a. Winters are cold enough that only zone-appropriate trees survive, but the lows are mild enough for many species that would fail in colder zones.

When do trees ship to Boise?

Trees ship to Boise in spring and autumn. These seasons avoid the extreme heat of summer and the coldest winter weather, giving your tree the best start.

What size do the trees arrive at?

Trees arrive as nursery-grown specimens at a usable landscape size. They are large enough to make an immediate impact but still small enough to establish quickly in your yard.

How Boise Compares to Other Areas

In ZIP 52411 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa (IA), zone 5a means winter lows can drop to -20 to -15 F. That makes most Japanese maples risky without protection. Locally, that points buyers toward cold-hardy alternatives like the Dura Heat River Birch or Windmill Palm in protected spots.

Here in Boise, your zone 7a allows a wider range of Japanese maples, though they still need some afternoon shade. The practical difference is that you can try cultivars like the Red Dragon without worrying about winter kill.

ZIP 04355 in Readfield, Maine (ME) sits in zone 5b with lows -15 to -10 F and experiences humid summers. The practical difference is that trees there must handle high humidity and short growing seasons. In Boise, dry heat is more common, so trees like the Chinese Windmill Palm and Blue Point Juniper that prefer lower humidity do well here. In Maine, those same species would struggle.

ZIP 55987 in Winona, Minnesota (MN) is zone 5a with winters as cold as -20 to -15 F. Summers are warmer but not as dry as Boise. Locally, that points buyers toward trees with good drought tolerance once established, such as the Chinese Pistachio or the Glauca Pendula Cedar. In Boise, you have the same need for drought tolerance but with milder winters, so the selection is broader.

What this means for you in Boise: you can grow a wider variety of trees than in colder, more humid regions, but you'll want to select species that handle dry summers and alkaline soil.
