Trees for Zone 6 in Shawnee

Shawnee sits in USDA hardiness zone 6b, where winter temperatures typically drop to between -5 and 0 degrees Fahrenheit. That means any tree you plant must be able to survive a cold snap.

While winter is the main constraint, summer heat and occasional humidity also affect tree health. Deciduous shade trees, flowering ornamentals, and hardy evergreens all adapt well to these conditions. Japanese maples do best when given afternoon shade and protection from drying winds.
