Shade and canopy. American Sycamore or other fast-growing shade trees. Large trees need space and drop leaves in fall.

Flowering and curb appeal. Muskogee or Natchez Crape Myrtle. Most flowering trees need at least 6 hours of sun daily.

Grow your own fruit. Bing Cherry Tree (with a pollinator). Frost can damage blossoms; choose a protected spot.

Small spaces and accents. Dwarf Palmetto Palm or Japanese maples. Japanese maples may scorch in afternoon sun; provide afternoon shade.

How Saint Louis Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 53091 in Theresa, Wisconsin (WI) sits in zone 5a, where winter lows drop to -20 to -15 degrees F. That climate is too cold for many Japanese maples, which often suffer damage below -10°F.

In practice, buyers here lean toward zone-hardy species like oak or maple. Your area's zone 7a is warm enough for more delicate Japanese maples with proper siting.

ZIP 82648 in Powder River, Wyoming (WY) is also zone 5a with lows of -20 to -15 F. Sweet cherries and peaches cannot survive there without heavy protection.

That gap changes the local shortlist to cold-hardy fruits like apples and pears. Here in Saint Louis, zone 7a lets you grow cherries and other fruit trees reliably.

ZIP 05483 in Sheldon, Vermont (VT) has zone 5a conditions with similar winter lows. Palms and tropicals need substantial warmth to survive outside.

For your cart, that means in Saint Louis you can include cold-hardy palms like the Dwarf Palmetto without special winter care. Your zone gives you more tropical options than colder areas.

So for your yard in ZIP 63105, you can confidently choose from a broader palette of trees, including crape myrtles, hollies, and palms, that would not be options in colder zones.

Freight delivery and the Thrive Guarantee

Arbor Buddy ships your tree by freight to Saint Louis and the surrounding ZIPs, including 63102, 63103, 63104, 63106, 63107, 63108. Delivery requires a truck-sized street with room to stop and turn.

Buying trees in Saint Louis 63105: what locals should know

Ordering a large tree online is not like ordering a lamp. Here is what is worth knowing before you buy, from reading your hardiness zone to what actually shows up on the truck.

How to read your hardiness zone

Saint Louis 63105 sits in USDA zone 7a. Your zone describes the coldest winter a tree can reliably survive. In a mid-country climate you get the widest catalog: most shade, flowering and evergreen trees qualify, and the filter mostly guards the borderline picks.

Typical winter lows here run about 0 to 5 F. Half-zones matter at the edges: two steps on the map are about five winter degrees, which is enough to decide whether a borderline pick belongs in your cart.

What freight delivery actually means

Your tree arrives large, nursery-grown and at a usable landscape size, secured to a pallet and delivered curbside or as close as the truck can safely get. Before delivery day, run through this quick checklist:

  • Someone can be home to receive the tree and look it over on arrival.
  • A freight truck can reach your street, with room to stop or turn around.
  • You know where you want it dropped: curbside, or as close as the driver can safely get.
  • Access watch-outs are handled: narrow driveways, soft ground after rain, low branches or wires.

The guarantee, in plain terms

If a tree does not survive its first year, we replace it free, shipping included. The promise works because every tree ships zone-matched and nursery-grown, so it arrives set up to succeed in your climate rather than gambling against it.

Coverage runs a full year from delivery. If something goes wrong, contact the team and they arrange the replacement. No store-credit games, no fine-print maze.
