Frequently Asked Questions

When do trees ship to Desoto County?

Fall through early spring. That is the shipping window for zone 8. Arbor Buddy schedules freight deliveries so your tree arrives in the planting season, not during summer heat.

What trees grow in zone 8?

Zone 8 supports a wide array. Bur Oak, Spartan Chinese Juniper, Cherry Plum, Elberta Peach, and several Japanese maples all thrive here. Your winter lows of 10 to 15 F are mild enough for many species that fail in colder zones.

What size do the trees arrive at?

Nursery-grown at a usable landscape size. Exact height varies by species, but each tree is large enough to make an immediate impact. Arbor Buddy ships them with a healthy root system and fresh soil.

Can I grow fruit trees in Desoto County?

Yes. Elberta Peach is a proven choice for zone 8a. It needs about 800 chill hours, and Desoto County delivers that. One tree will bear fruit on its own. Cherry Plum also gives edible fruit but is sold as an ornamental.

Franklin County, Florida (FL) sits in zones 9a to 9b, with winter lows around 20 to 30 F. That is warmer than Desoto County by about 10 degrees. In practice, buyers here lean toward palms and tropicals that would not survive your zone. Your 8a lows rule out cold-sensitive species like the Chinese Windmill Palm in an open spot.

Keweenaw County, Michigan (MI) falls in zones 5b to 6a, with lows of -15 to -5 F. That is far colder than Desoto County.

Their shortlist skips most flowering ornamentals that you can plant without worry.

Carlton County, Minnesota (MN) is zones 4a to 4b, with winter lows dropping to -30 to -20 F. That gap changes the local shortlist to only the hardest trees, like Bur Oak.
