Memphis, TN is part of the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 7b, which means the average annual minimum Winter temperature is 5 to 10 degrees (F). Trees and shrubs in Memphis can be affected by insects and pests so proactive tree and shrub care is recommended to avoid costly tree trimming and removal later on. Tennessee’s annual precipitation of 54.2 inches ranks 6th in the country, while its average annual temperature of 57.6°F ranks 14th in the country. As a result, Memphis residents often choose to plant marigolds, ageratum, and lantana as well as hosa, salvia, and butterfly weed in their yards. This humid climate for Memphis leaves lawns exposed to drought and pests like sod webworms, hairy chinch bug, white grubs, and emerald ash borers, meaning that consistent lawn and pest treatment is crucial for keeping trees and lawns healthy.
