Choosing trees by goal

Shade and canopy. Slender Silhouette Sweetgum. Narrow shape fits tight spots but still drops dense shade on a small patio.

Privacy and screening. Blue Point Chinese Juniper or Skyrocket Rocky Mountain Juniper. Junipers stay green all winter, but they need full sun to keep their form dense.

Flowering and curb appeal. Royal White Eastern Redbud. White flowers stand out against early spring brown. Blooms before leaves appear.

Grow your own fruit. Chicago Hardy Fig Tree. Needs a protected spot with good drainage. In zone 6a, mulch the root zone before frost.

Small spaces and accents. Viridis Japanese Laceleaf Maple. Weeping form adds texture, but it scorches in hot afternoon sun. Filtered light works best.

Trees for Zone 6 in Savannah

Most buyers in Savannah, NY 13146 sit in USDA zone 6a. Typical winter lows here run about -10 to -5 degrees F. That cold rules out many broadleaf evergreens but opens the door for hardy deciduous trees and cold-tolerant conifers.

Zone 6a gets a full four-season cycle. Summers are warm and humid, winters are snowy with occasional cold snaps. Trees for zone 6 in Savannah need to handle freeze-thaw cycles without bark split or root damage. You'll do best with oaks, maples, junipers, and cold-hardy fruit trees like the Chicago Hardy Fig.

Arbor Buddy matches every tree to your zone before shipping. That means you get varieties that have already proven they can survive a zone 6a winter.

For shade, privacy, flowering, and fruit trees matched to your zone in ZIP 13146 of Savannah, Arbor Buddy ships large nursery-grown trees with a 1-Year Thrive Guarantee. If your tree does not survive its first winter, we replace it free. Browse the trees suited to your area and order online.

How Savannah Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 20251 in Washington, District of Columbia (DC) sits in zone 8a with winter lows of 10 to 15 F. That warmer climate makes palms and tropicals viable. In practice, buyers here lean toward evergreen magnolias and southern live oaks. For your cart, that means you skip those species and instead choose cold-hardy options like the Skyrocket Rocky Mountain Juniper.

ZIP 31555 in Odum, Georgia (GA) is zone 9a with winter lows 20 to 25 F. Fruit and citrus trees thrive there year-round. For your cart, that means you cannot grow standard citrus in zone 6a. But cold-hardy figs like Chicago Hardy Fig fill that gap. The practical difference is you get fruit after a freeze, not through the winter.

ZIP 90030 in Los Angeles, California (CA) is zone 10b with winter lows 35 to 40 F. Flowering color there comes from jacaranda and bougainvillea. That gap changes the local shortlist to flowering trees like Royal White Eastern Redbud that bloom on bare branches before the leaves. You get spring color that survives snow, which those warmer zones never see.

The contrast shows that zone 6a buyers need trees that handle a real winter. For you, that means a shortlist of hardy species that still deliver shade, fruit, and color.

Freight delivery and the Thrive Guarantee

Your trees arrive by freight truck to ZIP 13146. They are large nursery-grown specimens at a usable landscape size. Before shipping, we match each tree to your zone 6a climate.

Headed to zone 6a, trees ship in spring or fall, matched to mild planting weather. A freight truck needs a street with room to stop or turn. Driveways should be clear of low branches or wires. Someone must be home to receive the delivery and inspect the tree.

Before delivery day, check:

  • Someone will be home to receive the tree and look it over.
  • A freight truck can reach your street with room to stop or turn around.
  • You know where you want the tree dropped (a clear spot near your planting area).
  • There are no long or narrow driveways that might block a truck, or soft ground that could sink under weight.

Every tree ships with a 1-Year Thrive Guarantee. If the tree does not survive its first year, we replace it free.

Buying trees in Savannah 13146: 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

Savannah 13146 sits in USDA zone 6a. 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 -10 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.

Frequently asked questions

What trees grow fastest in Savannah?+

Fast-growing trees for zone 6a include Slender Silhouette Sweetgum and Skyrocket Rocky Mountain Juniper. The sweetgum adds height quickly in a column shape. The juniper grows moderately fast for a conifer, gaining a foot or more per year when young.

What are the best shade trees for Savannah?+

Slender Silhouette Sweetgum is the top shade tree for small yards in Savannah. It produces dense shade in a very narrow form, so even a tiny front yard gets covered. For larger spaces, look at the Shade Trees category for broad-canopy oaks and elms.

What size do the trees arrive at?+

Arbor Buddy ships large, nursery-grown trees at a usable landscape size. They come in containers ready for planting. The exact size varies by species, but each tree is big enough to make an immediate impact in your yard.

Can I grow fruit or citrus trees in Savannah?+

Yes, but skip true citrus. Zone 6a winter lows of -10 to -5 F kill citrus. Focus on cold-hardy fruit like Chicago Hardy Fig, which survives freeze and produces sweet figs. Other options include apple and peach trees, but they need a second variety for cross-pollination.
