Trees for Zone 6 in Arlington Heights

Your ZIP 60005 sits in USDA hardiness zone 6a, where typical winter lows run about -10 to -5 degrees F. That cold is a real filter: only trees that can handle that freeze will survive here year after year. But it also means you can grow classic cold-hardy species like oaks, junipers, and redbuds that many warmer zones cannot.

Summers bring humidity, but not the intense dry heat of desert climates. That mix favors trees that like consistent moisture. Shade trees, evergreens, and many flowering trees do well. Japanese maples need partial shade in the hottest part of the day to avoid leaf scorch.

When you browse trees for zone 6 in Arlington Heights, focus on species rated for at least zone 6. The six featured trees on this page all fit that range and are ready to ship.
