Mount Olive sits in USDA zone 6b, where winter lows typically drop to between -5 and 0 degrees Fahrenheit. That climate allows a broad range of trees, but it rules out tender species that need zone 7 or warmer. Trees for zone 6 in Mount Olive need to handle occasional cold snaps and humid summers. Deciduous shade trees like oaks and maples do well, as do many conifers. Flowering ornamentals such as crape myrtle and fruit trees like apple and cherry are also reliable here if chosen from cold-hardy selections. For areas with wetter soil, weeping willow thrives.
