Trees for Zone 6 in South Bend

Zone 6 in South Bend sees a mix of cold winters and warm summers, so trees that tolerate both extremes perform best.

Shade trees and flowering ornamentals do very well. The soil in parts of St. Joseph County holds moisture well, but drainage varies. Evergreen and privacy trees stay green through the cold.
