Frequently Asked Questions

When do trees ship to Montrose?

Deliveries into zone 6 land in spring or fall, the two planting-friendly stretches. Arbor Buddy ships year-round from our nursery, but we time arrivals so your tree arrives when the ground can be worked. For ZIP 52639, expect a spring delivery between March and May, or a fall window from September through November.

What trees grow fastest in Montrose?

American Sycamore is the fastest-growing shade tree among our featured picks for Montrose. It can add several feet per year once established. Bald Cypress also grows quickly, especially in wet soil. Both are rated for zone 6 and will survive your winter lows.

What size do the trees arrive at?

All our trees are nursery-grown at a usable landscape size. You receive a tree that is ready to go in the ground, typically 4 to 6 feet tall or larger depending on the species. The exact size varies by tree, but each one is well-rooted and hardened off before shipping.

What is the 1-Year Thrive Guarantee?

It is a free replacement guarantee. If any tree you buy from Arbor Buddy does not survive its first full year after planting, we will send you a replacement at no cost. The guarantee covers the replacement tree and its shipping, not planting, and is our promise that every tree is healthy and zone-matched when it leaves our nursery.

How Montrose Compares to Other Areas

Your buying choices shift when you look at what works in nearby regions. Here's how Montrose stacks up against three very different climates.

First, ZIP 27823 in Enfield, North Carolina (NC) sits in zone 8a with winter lows of 10 to 15 F. That zone rarely sees the freezing cold Montrose gets each year. For your cart, that means Japanese maples like Orangeola need more protection in 6a than they do in Enfield, where summer heat is the bigger issue. In Montrose, winter hardiness matters first.

Next, ZIP 58480 in Sanborn, North Dakota (ND) is zone 4a with lows of -30 to -25 F. That gap changes the local shortlist to trees rated for extreme cold, like Spartan juniper or Canadian hemlock. In Montrose, you have more flowering options. Cherry Plum blooms reliably here, while in Sanborn flowering trees often need extra wind protection.

Finally, ZIP 89009 in Henderson, Nevada (NV) is zone 9b with lows of 25 to 30 F. There, privacy and screening choose from evergreen palms and broadleaf shrubs. In practice, buyers here lean toward Emerald Green Arborvitae and other cold-hardy evergreens that hold up through Iowa winters.

Bottom line: Montrose's 6a zone gives you a wide middle ground between extreme cold and desert heat. You can grow shade trees, flowering plums, apples, and compact Japanese maples, as long as you site them for your specific sun and moisture conditions.
