Frequently Asked Questions

When do trees ship to Dixon?

Trees ship in spring once deep cold passes. For zone 5b, that means scheduling for after the last hard frost. Typical winter lows in Dixon are -15 to -10 F, so we wait until the ground thaws and the risk of freeze damage is low.

How Dixon Compares to Other Areas

Tree choices shift depending on climate. Here is how Dixon stacks up against three other locations.

In ZIP 41222 in Hagerhill, Kentucky (KY), the zone is 7a with winter lows 0 to 5 F. That warmer zone opens up Japanese maples more reliably. Japanese maples like Viridis handle zone 5b but need winter protection in harsh spots. Locally, that points buyers toward Japanese maples only if they can provide some winter shelter or choose the hardiest cultivars.

ZIP 74021 in Collinsville, Oklahoma (OK) is also zone 7a with similar winter lows. The difference is cold-hardiness. Dixon's colder winters rule out trees that freeze below -10. Collinsville can grow less cold-hardy species. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward tougher picks like Dura Heat River Birch or Pond Cypress rather than borderline options.

ZIP 97388 in Gleneden Beach, Oregon (OR) is zone 9b with winter lows 25 to 30 F. That mild climate allows heat-and-humidity-sensitive trees that struggle in Dixon's summers. The practical difference is that Dixon's heat and humidity demand trees that tolerate both, while coastal Oregon trees handle neither. For Dixon, stick with trees proven in USDA zone 5b with moderate drought tolerance.

What this means for your yard: the contrasts show that Dixon's zone 5b is a sweet spot for many classic landscape trees, but you gain nothing by pushing hardiness boundaries.
