Trees for Zone 7 in Richmond
Zone 7b covers most of Richmond, with typical winter lows between 5 and 10 degrees Fahrenheit. That range lets you plant a wide mix of trees that would struggle in colder areas. While the zone is moderate, summers here bring heat and humidity that some trees tolerate better than others.
Deciduous shade trees like Shumard Oak handle the humidity well. Crape myrtles and Japanese maples appreciate good airflow and some afternoon shade. Evergreens and pines stay healthy when planted in well-drained soil. Your selection should lean toward trees proven in zone 7 conditions, and every tree we ship is already matched to that zone.

How Richmond Compares to Other Areas
Compared to ZIP 57442 in Gettysburg, South Dakota (SD) (zone 4b, winter lows -25 to -20 F), Japanese maples that thrive in Richmond would be marginal there. Locally, that points buyers toward maples like Sangokaku Coral Bark or Tamukeyama Laceleaf, which handle our zone 7b lows easily. In Gettysburg, a grower would need extra protection or hardier species.
The practical difference between Richmond and ZIP 54926 in Big Falls, Wisconsin (WI) (zone 5a, winter lows -20 to -15 F) is cold-hardiness. Richmond's 7b permits crape myrtles, which are borderline in 5a. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward flowering ornamentals that would freeze back farther north. Honeycrisp Apple, however, grows well in both zones.
In ZIP 82714 in Devils Tower, Wyoming (WY) (zone 4b, winter lows -25 to -20 F), drought tolerance is a key factor. While Richmond gets regular summer rain, the Wyoming site forces a choice of tough, xeric species. For Richmond buyers, the broader palette means you can pick trees for looks without worrying about extreme cold or water scarcity.
What these contrasts mean for your cart: you can confidently select trees that would struggle in harsher climates, including the Japanese maples, flowering ornamentals, and zone 7 specialists shown on this page.
Freight delivery and the Thrive Guarantee
Your tree ships by freight to ZIP 23219 and also to other Richmond ZIPs 23218, 23220, 23221, 23222, 23223, 23224. Freight trucks can reach most residential streets, but you need to be home to receive the delivery. The driver will drop the tree where you direct, as long as the spot is accessible. Trees headed to zone 7 arrive in spring or fall, matched to mild planting weather.
Before delivery day, check:
- Someone must be home to receive the tree and inspect it.
- The freight truck needs room to stop or turn on your street.
- Decide exactly where you want the tree dropped.
- Watch for long driveways, narrow gates, low branches, or overhead wires.
Every tree comes with our 1-Year Thrive Guarantee. If it dies within the first year for any reason, we send a free replacement.
