Spring only. Deliveries into zone 4 are timed to the spring planting window, typically from late April through early June, so trees arrive when the ground is workable and the risk of hard frost has passed.

What trees grow fastest in Morton?

Shade trees like Bur Oak grow at a moderate pace, but the fastest option among the featured picks is the Eastern Redbud, which can add 1 to 2 feet per year in zone 4b. For a privacy screen, Blue Point Chinese Juniper grows steadily once established.

What size do the trees arrive at?

Nursery-grown at a usable landscape size, typically 5 to 7 feet tall for deciduous trees and 3 to 4 feet for evergreens, depending on the species. All are shipped in a container or balled-and-burlapped for safe transit.

How Morton Compares to Other Areas

Tree choices shift when you compare Morton to warmer climates. For your cart, that means what works in Alexandria, Virginia (ZIP 22307, zone 8a, lows 10 to 15 F) often won't survive here. Japanese maples, a favorite in Alexandria, struggle in zone 4b because their tender buds freeze. Morton buyers instead rely on cold-hardy options like Bur Oak and Eastern Redbud for ornamental interest.

That gap changes the local shortlist to when you look at Thompson, Utah (ZIP 84540, zone 6b, lows -5 to 0 F). Utah's milder winters allow a longer flowering season for ornamentals, but Morton's zone 4b still delivers spring color from Redbud and Cherry Plum. The main difference is timing: Morton's bloom window is shorter, so early-flowering trees matter more.

In practice, buyers here lean toward privacy and screening options compared to Plymouth, Washington (ZIP 99346, zone 7b, lows 5 to 10 F). Washington's mild zone supports a wide variety of evergreens, but Morton's cold winters demand species like Blue Point Chinese Juniper that hold up to -25 F. For your yard, that means selecting conifers proven in zone 4b rather than trying less hardy selections from warmer zones.

The bottom line: Morton's zone 4b limits some popular trees from warmer areas, but the featured picks are chosen to thrive in your local cold.
