Your yard benefits from a long growing season, but summer heat and humidity can stress some species. Trees for zone 8 in Birmingham need to tolerate both the occasional cold snap and the humid summers.

Our featured shade trees, evergreens, and flowering ornamentals are all selected to handle these conditions. The Pendula Weeping Yaupon Holly is a native that laughs at the local climate, while the Chinese Pistachio shrugs off summer heat and delivers brilliant fall color.
