Frequently Asked Questions

When do trees ship to Surry County?

Trees ship to zone 8 between fall and early spring, matched to mild ground temperatures. That means most orders arrive in late autumn through early spring, when the ground is workable but not frozen. Your tree is dispatched from the nursery once the zone's planting window opens.

What trees grow in zone 8?

Plenty. Zone 8 includes both 8a and 8b. In Surry County (mostly 8a), trees like Thunderstruck White Lightning Crape Myrtle and Chicago Hardy Fig thrive. Many shade trees, evergreens, and Japanese maples also do well as long as they are hardy to at least zone 8.

What size do the trees arrive at?

All trees arrive at a usable landscape size. Most are 3 to 5 feet tall, depending on the species. You get a large enough tree to make an impact, but small enough to handle and plant yourself.

Can I grow fruit trees in Surry County?

Yes. The moderate winter cold in zones 7b-8a provides enough chill hours for many fruit trees. The Chicago Hardy Fig is a standout, and other options like peaches and apples also produce well here. Just be sure to choose varieties that match your specific chill-hour needs.

How Surry County Compares to Other Areas

Understanding other climates helps you appreciate what works here. Here is how Surry County stacks up against three different regions.

Sheboygan County, Wisconsin (WI) sits in zone 5b to 6a with winter lows of -15 to -5 F. That cold rules out palms and many tropicals that Surry County can grow without issue. In practice, buyers here lean toward cold-hardy evergreens and maples, not crape myrtles or figs.

Roane County, West Virginia (WV) is zone 6b with lows -5 to 0 F. While fruit trees like apples and pears grow well, citrus and tender figs are risky. For your cart, that means Surry County's Chicago Hardy Fig and other moderate-chill fruits are a safe bet here.

Carbon County, Wyoming (WY) spans zone 4a to 5b with lows -30 to -10 F. The extreme cold limits flowering trees like redbuds and crape myrtles to only the hardiest selections. That gap changes the local shortlist to pines, aspens, and shrubby species. In Surry County, you have a much wider palette of spring color.

For your yard, the takeaway is clear: Surry County's mild winters and warm summers let you choose from many tree types that struggle elsewhere. Focus on what fits your space, not just survival.
