Frequently Asked Questions

How cold does it get in Gardiner in winter?

Typical winter lows in Gardiner run about 20 to 25 degrees F, corresponding to USDA zone 9a. That's mild enough for many palms, citrus, and broadleaf evergreens that wouldn't survive colder zones.

When do trees ship to Gardiner?

Your zone 9 order ships for a fall or early-spring window, ahead of summer heat. This timing helps trees establish roots before the hottest months or the coldest snaps.

What size do the trees arrive at?

Trees arrive nursery-grown at a usable landscape size, typically several feet tall in large containers or as balled-and-burlapped specimens. You get a strong, established root system that can handle planting.

How Gardiner Compares to Other Areas

Zone 9a puts Gardiner in a warmer band than many parts of the country. Here are three examples that highlight the difference.

ZIP 73549 in Headrick, Oklahoma (OK) sits in zone 7b with winter lows 5 to 10 F. That gap makes Japanese maple suitability much narrower there. In practice, buyers here lean toward heat-tolerant Japanese maples, while Gardiner can grow them without the same cold risk. You have more flexibility with delicate ornamentals.

ZIP 43532 in Liberty Center, Ohio (OH) is zone 6a, lows -10 to -5 F. Palms and tropicals viability there is almost zero without heavy winter protection. For your cart, that means you can plant Jelly Palm or Cold Hardy Avocado without worry. Gardiner's mild winters let you try tropicals that freeze out in the Midwest.

ZIP 02018 in Accord, Massachusetts (MA) is zone 6b, lows -5 to 0 F. Fruit and citrus viability there is limited to hardy apples and cold-tolerant figs. That gap changes the local shortlist to include Cold Hardy Avocado and Chicago Hardy Fig in Gardiner. You can grow fruit that would fail in New England. The practical takeaway: your zone gives you a much broader palette of trees to choose from than colder areas.
