Flowering and curb appeal. Hearts A'fire Eastern Redbud. Purple foliage lasts all season but drops leaves in fall.

Grow your own fruit. Bing Cherry Tree. Requires a second sweet cherry for fruit set; blossoms are frost-tender.

Small spaces and accents. Viridis Japanese Laceleaf Maple. Susceptible to leaf scorch in full afternoon sun; part shade is best.

How Hershey Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 57053 in Parker, South Dakota (SD) sits in zone 5a with typical winter lows of -20 to -15 F. The biggest difference is heat and humidity tolerance. In Hershey's humid summers, trees like the Mexican White Oak thrive, while in Parker's drier climate, species more tolerant of aridity would be chosen. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward trees that can handle both moisture and heat.

ZIP 05083 in West Fairlee, Vermont (VT) also falls in zone 5a with lows -20 to -15 F. The practical difference is drought tolerance. Hershey receives more consistent rainfall, so trees with moderate drought tolerance perform well. In West Fairlee, you would lean toward species that can survive longer dry spells because of colder, harsher winters.

ZIP 54946 in King, Wisconsin (WI) shares the same zone 5a and extreme lows. Cold-hardiness becomes the deciding factor. Hershey's milder winters allow a much wider palette, including Japanese maples and the Dwarf Palmetto Palm, neither of which would survive Wisconsin's deep freezes. Locally, that points buyers toward ornamental and palm options that are simply not viable in King.

For buyers in Hershey, the contrast means you can select from a broader palette of trees that would struggle in colder, drier areas, giving you more flexibility in your landscape choices.

Buying trees in Hershey 17033: 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

Hershey 17033 sits in USDA zone 7a. 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 0 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.
