Frequently Asked Questions
How cold does it get in Memphis in winter?
Memphis falls in zone 8a, with mild winters compared to northern states. Typical lows stay above 10 degrees F, so cold-sensitive trees like crape myrtles and Japanese maples grow well here.
When do trees ship to Memphis?
Your zone 8 order ships for a fall or early-spring window. That timing lets trees settle in before summer heat arrives. Exact dates depend on the tree and your order date.
What size do the trees arrive at?
Trees ship at a usable landscape size, nursery-grown and ready for planting. Each is large enough to make an immediate impact in your yard.
What is the 1-Year Thrive Guarantee?

How Memphis Compares to Other Areas
ZIP 01013 in Chicopee, Massachusetts (MA) sits in zone 6a, with winter lows of -10 to -5 degrees F. That cold rules out many Japanese maples that need milder winters. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-hardy shade trees and conifers.
ZIP 04922 in Burnham, Maine (ME) is zone 5a, with lows down to -20 to -15 F. Palms and tropicals cannot survive there. For your cart, that means species like Chinese Windmill Palm that thrive in Memphis zone 8 are not an option in Burnham.
ZIP 49203 in Jackson, Michigan (MI) is zone 6a, with lows -10 to -5 F. Fruit trees like peaches need reliable chill hours but cannot handle the deep cold. That gap changes the local shortlist to apples and tart cherries instead of the Elberta Peach you can grow here.
For Memphis zone 8a, the contrast means you can plant a wider range of trees: from crape myrtles and Japanese maples to palms and fruit trees that would struggle in colder zones.
