Trees for Zone 5 in West Paris

The two ends of zone 5a are different, but West Paris sits squarely in zone 5a, where typical winter lows run about -20 to -15 degrees F. That cold limits some trees but opens the door for many hardy shade, flowering, and evergreen varieties. The growing season is short, so trees that leaf out late avoid frost damage. Summer can bring humidity, but many zone 5 trees handle it well. Japanese maples need careful placement to avoid late frosts and scorching heat. Nearby towns like Center Lovell, Peru, and Andover share the same zone, so the same tree choices apply. When selecting trees for zone 5 in West Paris, focus on those listed above.
