Frequently Asked Questions

How cold does it get in Martelle in winter?

Martelle falls in USDA zone 5a, with typical winter lows around -20 to -15 degrees F. That deep cold rules out many southern trees. Each tree Arbor Buddy ships is zone-matched so it can handle those lows.

When do trees ship to Martelle?

Trees ship during the spring window for zone 5a. Orders are queued for spring rather than midwinter to avoid extreme cold in transit. You will receive a dormant tree ready to plant once the ground thaws.

What is the 1-Year Thrive Guarantee?

If your tree does not survive its first year after planting, Arbor Buddy replaces it free of charge. The guarantee covers the tree itself, not replanting labor. It is a straightforward promise that the tree is healthy when it leaves our nursery.

How Martelle Compares to Other Areas

Mild winter areas let homeowners plant trees that would never survive Martelle. It helps to see the difference side by side.

ZIP 37032 in Cedar Hill, Tennessee (TN) sits in zone 7a with winter lows of 0 to 5 F. Japanese maples like the Red Dragon Laceleaf thrive there with less worry about cold damage. In practice, buyers here lean toward delicate laceleaf varieties that need less winter protection. The same tree in Martelle might survive if placed in a sheltered spot, but it is a riskier selection.

ZIP 76570 in Rosebud, Texas (TX) is zone 9a with typical lows of 20 to 25 F. That mild climate allows citrus and other frost-tender fruit trees. That gap changes the local shortlist to varieties like Satsuma or Meyer lemon. Your Martelle yard cannot support those, but cold-hardy apples, cherries, and pears are excellent options.

ZIP 24292 in Whitetop, Virginia (VA) is zone 6b with lows -5 to 0 F. Palms and tropicals are out there too. For your cart, that means you can focus on the same categories Martelle uses: shade, evergreen, and fruit trees that handle a true winter. The main difference is Whitetop has a slightly longer growing window.

For Martelle buyers, the contrast with warmer zones means you get a reliable set of cold-hardy trees that perform well without coddling.
