Trees for Zone 7 in Chestertown

Zone 7b brings winter lows around 5 to 10 degrees F. That means you can grow a mix of deciduous shade trees, flowering ornamentals, and cold-hardy evergreens. Japanese maples like Viridis need a spot shielded from winter wind, but most of your featured trees handle the cold without damage.

Summer brings humidity and occasional dry spells. Trees like Cedar Elm and Texas Redbud handle both. If your yard sits in an open section near Kennedyville or Still Pond, choose wind-tolerant species. In tighter lots around Worton, smaller trees like the Chicago Hardy Fig fit better.
