What size do the trees arrive at?

Can I grow fruit or citrus trees in Topeka?
You can grow cold-hardy fruit trees like the Chicago Hardy Fig in Topeka's zone 6b. True citrus trees cannot survive the winter lows. The Chicago Hardy Fig is the best bet for home fruit production here because its roots regrow after the top freezes back.

How Topeka Compares to Other Areas
ZIP 35246 in Birmingham, Alabama (AL) sits in zone 8a with winter lows of 10 to 15 F. That warmer climate supports a longer growing season and more heat-loving trees like crape myrtles. The practical difference is that Birmingham yards face almost no winter kill risk, while Topeka's zone 6b requires trees that tolerate -5 to 0 F. Your shade and evergreen choices here need cold-hardy genetics, not just heat tolerance.
ZIP 72923 in Barling, Arkansas (AR) also is zone 8a with lows 10 to 15 F. Barling gets similar humidity to Topeka but warmer winters mean less chance of freeze damage to tender buds. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward disease-resistant varieties that handle wet summers. In Topeka, you get a longer cold period that keeps many pests in check, but you must pick trees that can take a hard freeze.
ZIP 85128 in Coolidge, Arizona (AZ) is zone 9a with winter lows 20 to 25 F. That is almost frost-free, so growers there can plant citrus and tropical species. Locally, that points buyers toward drought-tolerant mesquite and palo verde. In Topeka, you enjoy a full four seasons with dependable snow cover that protects roots. Your tree options lean toward deciduous species that go dormant in winter, like oaks, maples, and redbuds.
The bottom line: Topeka's zone 6b gives you a reliable cold period that limits pest pressure but demands trees that survive freezing. The contrast shows why the featured trees here are selected for their proven hardiness, not just heat or drought tolerance.
