What size do the trees arrive at?

All trees are nursery-grown at a usable landscape size, typically 4 to 7 feet tall depending on the species. They ship by freight in a sturdy box or burlap-wrapped root ball. The size ensures a head start once planted in your yard.

Can I grow fruit or citrus trees in Oklahoma City?

How Oklahoma City Compares to Other Areas

Different climates change what trees work best. Compare Oklahoma City to three other locations.

ZIP 05061 in Randolph Center, Vermont (VT) sits in zone 5a with winter lows of -20 to -15 F. That cold rules out most palms and tropicals entirely. In practice, buyers there lean toward cold-hardy evergreens and maples. Oklahoma City's zone 7b lets you grow palms like windmill varieties and tropical-looking plants that would freeze in Vermont.

ZIP 54460 in Owen, Wisconsin (WI) is zone 4b with winter lows -25 to -20 F. Fruit trees face a much shorter season. For your cart, that means you can grow a wider range of fruits in Oklahoma City, including figs, peaches, and apples that need milder winters. Wisconsin growers often stick with apples and hardy plums.

ZIP 82327 in Hanna, Wyoming (WY) is zone 5a with lows -20 to -15 F. That gap changes the local shortlist to very cold-hardy flowering trees like serviceberry. In Oklahoma City, you can enjoy crape myrtles, redbuds, and dogwoods that would not survive Wyoming's bitter cold. The takeaway: your zone gives you flexibility that colder areas lack, so focus on trees that love heat and moderate winters.
