Frequently Asked Questions
When do trees ship to Memphis?
Trees ship to Memphis during the fall-to-early-spring stretch. This timing avoids peak summer heat and helps your tree establish in zone 8a before the next summer.
What are the best shade trees for Memphis?
The best shade trees for Memphis include Mexican White Oak, which grows fast and stays semi-evergreen. Also consider Live Oak or Chinkapin Oak from our shade collection. These trees handle zone 8 humidity well.
What size do the trees arrive at?
Trees arrive at a large, nursery-grown size ready for planting. The exact size depends on the species, but all are landscape-ready and well-rooted.

The 1-Year Thrive Guarantee means Arbor Buddy replaces any tree that does not survive its first year. No extra cost, just proof of receipt. This covers the critical establishment period.

How Memphis Compares to Other Areas
ZIP 43804 in Baltic, Ohio (OH) sits in zone 6a with winter lows -10 to -5 F. That cold limits Japanese maples. In practice, buyers here lean toward smaller shade trees like red maples rather than lacy Japanese maples that need milder winters.
ZIP 01756 in Mendon, Massachusetts (MA) is zone 6b with lows -5 to 0 F. Fruit trees like citrus cannot grow there. That gap changes the local shortlist to apples and pears. In Memphis, you can grow cold-hardy avocado and other zone 8 fruits.
ZIP 04625 in Cranberry Isles, Maine (ME) also has zone 6b with -5 to 0 F lows. Palms and tropicals are out. For your cart, that means you have access to palms like Dwarf Palmetto that would not survive Maine winters.
These differences mean that in Memphis, you can choose heat-loving trees that northern buyers cannot.
