Frequently Asked Questions
When do trees ship to Jonesboro?
Trees ship in spring or fall, matched to mild planting weather for zone 7. That means you get your tree when soil temperatures are right for root growth. You'll receive a shipping window confirmation after ordering.
What trees grow fastest in Jonesboro?
Weeping Willow and Live Oak are the fastest growers among the featured trees. Willow adds several feet per year when planted in moist soil. Live Oak spreads a wide canopy quickly once established in zone 7.
What size do the trees arrive at?
Every tree ships as a large, nursery-grown specimen. Sizes vary by species but all are ready to go in the ground. You don't get a tiny stick, you get a tree with a substantial root system and canopy.
What is the 1-Year Thrive Guarantee?
If your tree dies from any cause during its first growing season, Arbor Buddy replaces it free. That covers the risk of transplant shock or unexpected weather. It's the simplest tree guarantee in the business.

How Jonesboro Compares to Other Areas
Tree choices change fast when you cross hardiness zones. Here's how 62952 stacks up against three other climates.
ZIP 05253 in East Dorset, Vermont (VT) sits in zone 5a, with winter lows of -20 to -15 F. That's a much colder zone. Japanese maples like Red Dragon are borderline there, zone 5b is the floor for that species. In practice, buyers here lean toward extra-hardy shade trees like oak or maple species that can handle the deep freeze. For your cart, that means the Japanese maples you can plant in Jonesboro are a luxury Vermont yards rarely enjoy.
ZIP 53050 in Mayville, Wisconsin (WI) is also zone 5a with the same bitter lows. Palms and tropicals? Forget it. Even if the summer is warm, winter kills them. For your cart, that means the subtropical look you could try in zone 7, like a hardy fig or a southern magnolia, is not an option up north. That gap changes the local shortlist to cold-hardy evergreens and native trees only.
ZIP 82081 in Meriden, Wyoming (WY) is zone 5a with dry air and strong winds. Fruit and citrus viability is near zero. Even a Chicago Hardy Fig would struggle with dry cold. That gap changes the local shortlist to drought-tolerant conifers and cottonwoods. In Jonesboro's more humid zone 7, you can grow fruit, figs, and broadleaf evergreens that would fail in Wyoming.
The bottom line: zone 7a gives you a broad palette. Your cart can include shade, fruit, and ornamentals that buyers in zone 5a can only dream of.
