How Houston Compares to Other Areas

Newark, DE (ZIP 19712) is zone 7b with typical winter lows of 5 to 10 F. That colder climate limits flowering trees to early bloomers. For your cart, that means Houston's 9b allows a longer bloom season and more tropical flowering options like desert willow.

Denver, CO (ZIP 80243) is zone 6a with winter lows of -10 to -5 F. Harsh winters force screening choices to hardy evergreens. That gap changes the local shortlist to heat-tolerant evergreens like Little Gem magnolia for Houston.

Hartford, CT (ZIP 06101) is zone 6b with winter lows -5 to 0 F. Palms and tropicals cannot survive outdoors there. In practice, buyers here lean toward palms like Queen Sago that thrive in Houston's warmth.

These contrasts show that Houston's zone 9b opens up a wider palette of trees, from palms to evergreens to fruit, that colder ZIPs cannot match.

Buying trees in Houston 77022: 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

Houston 77022 sits in USDA zone 9b. Your zone describes the coldest winter a tree can reliably survive. In a warm zone the question flips: winter rarely kills a tree, but summer heat can. Heat and drought tolerance matter as much as the zone number.

Typical winter lows here run about 25 to 30 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.
