How Howell Compares to Other Areas

Howell's zone 7a climate is milder than many parts of the country. Comparing your area to places with colder winters makes the trade-offs clear.

ZIP 04047 in Parsonsfield, Maine (ME) is zone 5b with winter lows of -15 to -10 F. That cold limits Japanese maples. Many laceleaf varieties survive in 5b, but winter damage is more likely. In practice, buyers there lean toward hardier species like red maples and oaks. In zone 7a, you can grow Crimson Queen Japanese Laceleaf Maple with less worry about winter kill. Its main challenge here is summer heat, not cold.

ZIP 56145 in Jeffers, Minnesota (MN) is zone 5a with lows of -20 to -15 F. That gap changes the local shortlist to fruit and citrus viability. In Jeffers, sweet cherries like Bing are risky because blossoms are frost-tender. Even with a pollinator, late frosts can wipe out the crop. In Howell, you have a longer, warmer spring, so Bing Cherry has a better chance. You still need a second tree for fruit, but the frost risk is lower.

ZIP 59631 in Basin, Montana (MT) is also zone 5a with -20 to -15 F lows. For your cart, that means palms and tropicals are out of the question in Basin. Dwarf Palmetto Palm would not survive the winter. In Howell, zone 7a lets you grow this cold-hardy fan palm without winter protection. It is a true tropical accent that does well here.

Overall, Howell's zone 7a gives you more options for Japanese maples, fruit trees, and palms than colder areas. Your main challenges are summer heat and humidity, not winter cold.

How cold does it get in Howell in winter?

Winter lows in Howell typically run from 0 to 5 degrees Fahrenheit. That puts your area in USDA hardiness zone 7a. It is cold enough to kill many tropical plants, but most landscape trees grown in zone 7a overwinter fine.

When do trees ship to Howell?

Orders to zone 7 areas are scheduled for spring and fall arrival windows. Arbor Buddy ships during the milder seasons so the tree has the best chance to settle in before extremes. You will get a shipping window after you order.

What size do the trees arrive at?

They are large, nursery-grown specimens. The exact size depends on the species, but the tree is ready to go into the ground. It is not a tiny sapling; it is a tree with a developed root system and trunk.

What is the 1-Year Thrive Guarantee?

If the tree does not survive its first year in your yard, Arbor Buddy will replace it free of charge. The guarantee covers the tree cost and shipping. It gives you confidence that your investment is protected.
