Trees for Zone 5 in Antonito

Most Antonito buyers sit in zone 5b, where winter lows run about -15 to -10 degrees Fahrenheit. That climate rules out tender ornamentals and marginal fruit trees. It favors species that handle a hard freeze followed by dry summer heat.

Shade trees like Chinkapin Oak anchor the landscape with roots that reach deep for moisture. Evergreens such as Hetzii Columnaris Chinese Juniper and Eastern Redcedar hold their color through snow and wind. Flowering trees like Ruby Falls Weeping Redbud bloom in spring after the last frost passes. Fruit trees must earn their spot here, and Chicago Hardy Fig does exactly that.
