Live Trees

A growing zone, also known as a hardiness zone, is a geographically defined area that specifies the different types of plants that are capable of growing in that climate. It factors in the average annual minimum winter temperature, divided into 10-degree F zones. To find your growing zone, you can use the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map or similar resources online by entering your zip code. This information helps you choose plants that will thrive in your local climate.

Selecting the right evergreen for your garden depends on your specific needs and local climate. Consider the growing zone, available space, and the purpose of the tree or shrub (such as privacy, windbreak, or decorative). The Thuja Green Giant is ideal for fast privacy in zones 5-8, the Italian Cypress offers vertical elegance in warmer climates (zones 7-10), and the Fragrant Tea Olive Tree brings aromatic blooms to zones 7-10 gardens.

Selecting the right flowering plant depends on your garden’s climate zone, soil type, sunlight availability, and personal color preferences. Consider plants that will thrive in your specific conditions for the best blooming results. The Yoshino Cherry is perfect for dramatic spring blooms, while the Double Knock Out® Rose and Endless Summer® Hydrangea offer vibrant colors and repeat flowering throughout the growing season.

The best time to plant fruit trees is in the late winter or early spring, allowing them to establish roots before the growing season. However, container-grown trees can be planted throughout the growing season with proper care.
