Frequently Asked Questions

How cold does it get in Franklin in winter?

Franklin's USDA zone 8a means winter lows typically drop to about 10 to 15 degrees F. That is cold enough to kill tropicals but mild enough for a wide selection of evergreen and deciduous trees.

When do trees ship to Franklin?

Shipments for zone 8 are scheduled during the cooler months, from fall through early spring. This timing protects the tree from heat stress during transport and gives it time to settle in before summer.

What size do the trees arrive at?

Trees come nursery-grown at a usable landscape size, typically 4 to 6 feet tall for most species. They are shipped in containers or with root balls wrapped for the freight journey.

How Franklin Compares to Other Areas

To see what your zone 8a means for tree selection, look at three other locations across the country. Each has a different climate that shifts the buying shortlist.

ZIP 53928 in Doylestown, Wisconsin (WI) sits in zone 5a with winter lows of -20 to -15 F. That gap changes the local shortlist to cold-hardy species. Japanese maples like Red Dragon or Crimson Queen are borderline there, needing extra care. In Franklin zone 8a, the same maples can grow without winter protection. Locally, that points buyers toward a wider range of ornamental maples that would fail in Wisconsin.

ZIP 82322 in Bairoil, Wyoming (WY) is zone 5b with lows -15 to -10 F. For your cart, that means privacy and screening options are limited there. Evergreens like Christmas Jewel Holly are only hardy to zone 6, so Wyoming buyers cannot use it. Franklin can plant that holly and other broadleaf evergreens year-round. In practice, buyers here lean toward hollies, magnolias, and other zone 8 evergreens that Wyoming cannot support.

ZIP 26451 in West Milford, West Virginia (WV) is zone 6b with lows -5 to 0 F. Flowering color choices differ. West Virginia can grow redbuds and dogwoods but struggles with plants that need a longer growing season. Franklin zone 8a gives more time for late-blooming ornamentals and even offers Sago Palm as a tropical accent. In practice, buyers here lean toward a broader palette of flowering trees, including those with longer bloom periods.

The takeaway: Franklin's mild winters and long growing season open the door to a larger tree catalog than much of the country. Your zone 8a status is an advantage.
