Choosing trees by goal

Shade and canopy. Chinese Elm or other fast-growing shade trees. If afternoons are brutal, start here. These trees cast dense shade within a few years.

Privacy and screening. Oakland Southern Living Holly or Brodie Eastern Red Cedar. Dense foliage all year, but need room to spread. Space them according to mature width.

Flowering and curb appeal. Merlot Redbud or other flowering ornamentals. Spring blooms are short-lived but the burgundy leaves add color through summer.

Grow your own fruit. Bing Cherry Tree (zone 7 tolerant). Bing is self-sterile; plant a second compatible sweet cherry nearby to get fruit. Also protect blossoms from late frosts.

Small spaces and accents. Dwarf Palmetto Palm or compact evergreens. Stay under 10 feet. Palms add a bold silhouette without overwhelming a small lot.

Trees for Zone 7 in Matthews

Matthews sits in USDA zone 7b, where typical winter lows reach about 5 to 10 degrees F. That means a few popular trees from colder zones won't survive here. But zone 7 opens the door to a wide selection of heat-tolerant species that still need some winter chill to thrive.

Chinese Elm and Merlot Redbud laugh at hot summers and bounce back from cold snaps. Evergreens like Brodie Eastern Red Cedar handle the clay and dry spells common in New Madrid County. For fruit, Bing Cherry needs a partner tree to set fruit but rewards you with deep mahogany cherries if paired correctly.

If you have a spot for a tropical accent, Dwarf Palmetto Palm is one of the few palms that survive zone 7 winters without special care. The zone 7 climate lets you mix shade, privacy, and flowering trees in one landscape. That flexibility makes trees for zone 7 in Matthews a smart choice for any yard.

How Matthews Compares to Other Areas

Tree choices shift dramatically when you look at colder parts of the country. In ZIP 05471 in Montgomery Center, Vermont (VT), winter lows hit -20 to -15 F in zone 5a. That climate eliminates most fruit and citrus options. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-hardy apples and pines. For your cart, that means Matthews can grow sweet cherries and palms that would never survive a Vermont winter.

Over in ZIP 53951 in North Freedom, Wisconsin (WI), the same zone 5a and similar deep cold rule out tropicals like palms. That gap changes the local shortlist to things like arborvitae and spruces. Here in zone 7b, you can plant Dwarf Palmetto Palm and even a columnar redcedar for privacy without worrying about winterkill. The mild lows extend your palette considerably.

In ZIP 82516 in Kinnear, Wyoming (WY), also zone 5a, the dry cold and wind make privacy screening a challenge. Wind-hardy junipers and pines are the go-to. For your cart, that means the dense, compact Oakland Southern Living Holly and Brodie Red Cedar that thrive in Matthews would struggle in Wyoming's harsh winters. The practical takeaway: Matthews' zone 7b lets you choose from a wider range of evergreens, fruit, and ornamental trees than northern buyers can consider.

Freight delivery and the Thrive Guarantee

Because Arbor Buddy ships large, nursery-grown trees, each order comes by freight truck to your street in Matthews. The driver will need a spot to pull in and unload a pallet, so plan for access. Someone should be home to receive the tree and inspect it on arrival.

Every tree is zone-matched before it leaves the nursery. You also get a 1-Year Thrive Guarantee: if the tree does not survive its first year, we replace it free. Orders to zone 7 areas are scheduled for spring and fall arrival windows.

Before delivery day, check:

  • Someone is available to receive the tree and look it over.
  • A freight truck can reach your driveway with room to stop or turn around.
  • Know where you want the tree dropped, the driver can set the pallet there.
  • Watch for long or narrow driveways, soft ground after rain, or low wires.

Buying trees in Matthews 63867: 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

Matthews 63867 sits in USDA zone 7b. 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 5 to 10 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.

What trees grow fastest in Matthews?+

Chinese Elm leads the pack with rapid growth in zone 7. For privacy, the Brodie Eastern Red Cedar also puts on height quickly while staying narrow, giving you screening sooner than many evergreens.

What are good privacy or screening trees for Matthews?+

Oakland Southern Living Holly and Brodie Eastern Red Cedar both excel in zone 7. The holly offers a dense, glossy barrier that stays green all winter, while the red cedar provides a soft columnar screen that fits tight spots.

Can I grow fruit or citrus trees in Matthews?+
