Trees for Zone 6 in Washington

Broadleaf trees like American sycamore and redbud do well here. Evergreens such as the Brodie red cedar and Carolina Sapphire cypress stay healthy year-round.

How Washington Compares to Other Areas

Washington's zone 6a is a middle ground across the country. The tree choices you make here shift when you look at warmer parts of the US.

ZIP 93121 in Santa Barbara, California (zone 10b, typical winter lows 35 to 40 F) never sees a hard freeze. Cold-hardiness is not an issue there, so tropicals and citrus grow easily. Locally, that points buyers toward species that need a real winter chill to bloom or fruit, such as apple and redbud. Washington's cold winters make those trees a natural fit, whereas Santa Barbara gardeners skip them.

ZIP 31814 in Louvale, Georgia (zone 8b, typical winter lows 15 to 20 F) has milder winters but still gets some frost. Drought tolerance is a bigger issue there than here because of hotter summers. The practical difference is that Washington's more even rainfall and cooler summers reduce the need for drought-hardy species. Here you can grow a wider palette of moisture-loving trees like sycamore and red maple.

ZIP 36901 in Bellamy, Alabama (zone 8b, typical winter lows 15 to 20 F) experiences high humidity and heat for much of the year. Heat and humidity tolerance becomes a deciding factor for many trees. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward species that handle both cold and moderate humidity, such as the Brodie red cedar and Hearts A'fire redbud. Bellamy owners must focus on heat tolerance, but Washington's climate is less extreme in that direction.

For you in Washington, the contrasts mean you can plant a mix of trees that need a cold winter and tolerate moderate summer heat. Focus on zone 6a hardy species, and you will have a wider range of options than in warmer areas.
