Frequently Asked Questions

How cold does it get in Jonesboro in winter?

Jonesboro's winter lows typically drop to 15 to 20 degrees F, which is zone 8b. That cold is manageable for most trees in our catalog, though tender citrus and palms need protection during hard freezes.

When do trees ship to Jonesboro?

Trees ship to your ZIP 71251 during fall through early spring. This timing lets you plant when the soil is cool and rainfall is more regular, giving roots a good start before summer heat arrives.

What size do the trees arrive at?

All trees are nursery-grown and large enough to make an immediate impact in your landscape. Exact sizes vary by species, but you will receive a tree that is ready for planting, not a seedling.

How Jonesboro Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 05255 in Manchester Center, Vermont (VT) sits in zone 5a, with winter lows of -20 to -15 F. That climate rules out most Japanese maples unless heavily protected. In your zone, Japanese maples like Seiryu can grow outdoors year-round with partial shade. For your cart, that means you can add colorful laceleaf varieties without winter worry.

ZIP 84330 in Plymouth, Utah (UT) lies in zone 6a, with lows of -10 to -5 F. Flowering trees there need more cold hardiness to bloom reliably. In Jonesboro, crape myrtles and redbuds bloom freely because winter is milder. That gap changes the local shortlist to heat-tolerant flowering picks like Thunderstruck Coral Boom Crape Myrtle and Merlot Redbud.

ZIP 54022 in River Falls, Wisconsin (WI) is zone 4b, with lows of -25 to -20 F. Privacy screening there relies on hardy arborvitae and junipers that survive deep freezes. Your zone 8b allows a wider range of evergreens, including columnar junipers that grow faster and don't face extreme cold. In practice, buyers here lean toward Hetz Columnaris Chinese Juniper for a dense, low-maintenance screen.

These contrasts show that your mild winters give you more tree options than much of the country. Focus on species that tolerate heat and humidity alongside your zone's moderate cold.
