Frequently Asked Questions

Charter Oak is in USDA zone 5a, so winters can bring subzero temperatures. Typical lows fall between -20 and -15 degrees Fahrenheit, which is normal for the region.

When do trees ship to Charter Oak?

Trees for your zone ship in spring rather than midwinter. Zone 5 orders queue for the spring shipping window, so you receive your tree when it's safe to plant.

How Charter Oak Compares to Other Areas

In ZIP 28173 in Waxhaw, North Carolina (NC), zone 8a with winter lows of 10 to 15 degrees, Japanese maples like Crimson Queen thrive without much winter worry. That gap changes the local shortlist to varieties that need less cold hardiness. Your zone 5a means you can grow peaches that need chill hours, but you must protect Japanese maples from harsh cold.

In ZIP 07603 in Bogota, New Jersey (NJ), zone 7b with winter lows of 5 to 10 degrees, privacy screening options include fast-growing evergreens that stay green all winter. For your cart, that means you can choose Taylor Eastern Red Cedar for a narrow screen, but you have fewer broadleaf evergreen choices than warmer zones. Your winters test even hardy evergreens like arborvitae.

In ZIP 87410 in Aztec, New Mexico (NM), zone 6b with winter lows of -5 to 0 degrees, flowering trees like redbud and plum bloom reliably. In practice, buyers here lean toward drought-tolerant natives. Your wetter summers in Charter Oak allow for river birch and other moisture-loving trees that wouldn't work in Aztec. That difference is important when planning your landscape.

For your Charter Oak yard, these contrasts mean the cold-hardy species on this page are the right fit. Stick with trees proven in zone 5, and you'll avoid winter losses.
