Frequently Asked Questions

How cold does it get in Harvey in winter?

Harvey's USDA hardiness zone is 5b, meaning typical winter lows range from -15 to -10 degrees F. That is cold enough to kill off many broadleaf evergreens, but it is just right for the shade, flowering, and fruit trees we offer.

When do trees ship to Harvey?

For zone 5b, trees queue for the spring shipping window rather than midwinter. That ensures your tree arrives when the ground is workable and the tree is ready to grow.

What size do the trees arrive at?

Trees arrive as large, nursery-grown specimens, typically 5 to 7 feet tall depending on the species and form. They are shipped in a dormant state or with root protection so they handle the freight ride well.

What is the 1-Year Thrive Guarantee?

It means if your tree dies from any cause during its first year in the ground, Arbor Buddy sends you a free replacement. No hassle, no extra cost. The guarantee covers the tree itself, not planting or care mistakes, but it gives you real peace of mind.

How Harvey Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 28532 in Havelock, North Carolina (NC) sits in zone 8b with winter lows of 15 to 20 F. That warmer climate lets homeowners grow Japanese maples year-round without leaf scorch worries. Locally, that points buyers toward Emperor 1 Japanese Maple for your zone 5b yard, they are hardy here but need afternoon shade to avoid browning. The contrast is practical: Havelock can plant tender maples; Harvey requires cold-hardy selections.

ZIP 87113 in Albuquerque, New Mexico (NM) is zone 7b with lows of 5 to 10 F. That is colder than Havelock but still milder than Harvey. Albuquerque gardeners can grow many fruiting trees like Elberta Peach with less chill risk. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward Elberta Peach because your 5b area provides the full 800 chill hours it needs for a heavy crop. Albuquerque's milder winters mean less reliable bloom timing for high-chill varieties.

ZIP 07799 in Eatontown, New Jersey (NJ) is also zone 7b with lows 5 to 10 F. That zone handles heat and humidity similar to Harvey, but Eatontown's winters are less severe. The practical difference is in species like Bald Cypress, it thrives in both climates, but in Harvey its needle drop is more noticeable because winter lasts longer. For your yard, that is a minor trade-off for a tree that tolerates wet and dry spots equally well.

For Harvey buyers, these contrasts underscore one thing: stick with zone 5b choices for reliable growth and minimal risk.
