Trees for Zone 5 in Windsor Heights

Zone 5b means winter lows here run about -15 to -10 degrees Fahrenheit. That cold rules out many southern favorites, but it also ensures your tree choices are proven tough. Trees for zone 5 in Windsor Heights need to handle freezing temperatures and occasional snow.

The featured trees all survive zone 5 winters. The Viridis Japanese Laceleaf Maple is hardy to roughly zone 5b, so it fits your yard. But it needs protection from strong afternoon sun in summer to avoid leaf scorch. Bald Cypress, though sold under "Evergreen & Privacy," drops its needles in winter. That is fine for wet areas but not for year-round privacy.

Flowering trees like Wisteria Tree bloom reliably after the cold. Fruit trees such as Bing Cherry need a pollinating partner and may lose blossoms to late frosts. Shade trees like Chinese Elm grow fast and handle the local clay soil.
