Frequently Asked Questions

How cold does it get in Lakeville in winter?

Lakeville sits in USDA hardiness zone 6b. Typical winter lows in this part of Plymouth County range from -5 to 0 degrees F. That cold is enough to damage truly subtropical plants but is manageable for the trees listed here.

When do trees ship to Lakeville?

Zone 6 orders ship in the spring and fall windows on either side of summer. Trees travel during mild weather to reduce stress on the plant. The freight carrier will call ahead to schedule a drop time that works for you.

What size do the trees arrive at?

Trees arrive nursery-grown at a usable landscape size. They come bare-root or in grow bags depending on the season. The size is large enough to make an impact in your yard but still manageable for one or two people to move.

How Lakeville Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 55606 in Hovland, Minnesota (MN) sits in zone 4a with winter lows of -30 to -25 F. That cold rules out many trees that grow easily here. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward cold-hardy evergreens and maples capable of surviving extreme cold. Japanese maples that thrive in Lakeville would struggle there without heavy winter protection. The difference in winter lows means you can plant a wider range of ornamentals than a zone 4 homeowner can.

ZIP 59745 in Norris, Montana (MT) falls in zone 5a with typical winter lows of -20 to -15 F. That is still colder than Lakeville by a solid margin. The practical difference is that summer heat and humidity are much lower there, so trees here must handle both cold winters and warm humid summers. Trees that tolerate dry mountain air may not adapt to Massachusetts humidity. Your Lakeville yard gives you more options for heat-tolerant flowering trees and maples.

ZIP 38780 in Wayside, Mississippi (MS) sits in zone 8b with winter lows of 15 to 20 F. That warmth allows species that would not survive a Lakeville winter. Locally, that points buyers toward drought-tolerant picks like cedar elm and away from trees that need consistent moisture. The contrast shows that your zone 6 location gives you a balanced climate for both shade trees and fruit trees that need winter chill.

For Lakeville buyers, the key takeaway is that your zone supports a wide middle ground between extreme cold and extreme heat, making reliable choices available across most categories.
