Trees for Zone 6 in Onondaga

In Onondaga and nearby towns like Dansville, Williamston, Webberville, and Leslie, the growing season is warm enough for shade trees and flowering ornamentals. The American Sycamore and Bur Oak excel in this climate. For evergreen structure, the Blue Point Chinese Juniper stays blue all winter. The Chicago Hardy Fig and Viridis Japanese Laceleaf Maple need careful siting but reward you with fruit and grace. Trees for zone 6 in Onondaga cross several categories, from shade to fruit to accent.

Hot summers in this area sometimes stress tender Japanese maples. A spot with morning sun and afternoon shade keeps them happy. Crape myrtles like the Thunderstruck Lavender Skies thrive with full sun and good air circulation.
