Trees for Zone 6 in Ragsdale

Ragsdale sits in USDA hardiness zone 6b, where winter lows typically drop to -5 to 0 degrees F. That range allows a broad selection of trees that can handle cold.

For flowering interest, the Thunderstruck Lavender Skies Crape Myrtle is a good choice if given a protected spot.
