Trees ship in spring, timed to the end of severe cold in zone 5a. That avoids damage from late freezes. Orders placed now are scheduled for the spring window.

How Yankton Compares to Other Areas
ZIP 20911 in Silver Spring, Maryland sits in zone 7b with winter lows of 5 to 10 F. That warmer climate lets Silver Spring gardeners grow Japanese maples without worry. In Yankton's zone 5a, the same maples need a sheltered spot. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-hardy junipers and arborvitae for reliable evergreen structure.
ZIP 39632 in Chatawa, Mississippi is zone 8b with lows of 15 to 20 F. Chatawa can grow palms and tropicals that Yankton can only envy. For your cart, that means you skip the palms and focus on cold-tough privacy screens and shade trees that handle -20 F.
ZIP 27807 in Bailey, North Carolina sits in zone 8a with winter lows of 10 to 15 F. That region supports a wider range of fruit trees, including many citrus. That gap changes the local shortlist to fruits like Chicago Hardy Fig and Honeycrisp Apple, both bred for true winter.
What these contrasts mean for your cart in Yankton: stick with zone 5a vetted species. Arbor Buddy's lineup is already matched. You get trees that survive here, not just there.
