Trees for Zone 5 in Lakeland

Lakeland sits in USDA hardiness zone 5a, where winter lows can drop to -20 to -15 degrees Fahrenheit. That cold window rules out many broadleaf evergreens and tender Japanese maples. But zone 5 also opens the door to cold-hardy oaks, crabapples, spruces, and fruit trees like Honeycrisp apple that need a real winter chill.

For Lakeland homeowners, the key is choosing trees that not only survive but thrive in the mix of freezing winters and humid summers. Shade trees such as Chinkapin Oak are well suited because they leaf out late, avoiding frost damage. Flowering ornamentals like redbuds and crabapples bloom after the worst cold passes. Japanese maples should go in protected sites where buildings or larger trees buffer the wind and sun.

Nearby communities such as Scandia, Newport, Saint Paul Park, and Hugo share the same zone, so tree selections for those areas overlap with what works in Lakeland.

Frequently Asked Questions

How cold does it get in Lakeland in winter?

Winter lows in ZIP 55043 run about -20 to -15 degrees Fahrenheit, placing Lakeland in zone 5a. That cold is enough to kill trees that are only hardy to zone 6 or warmer, so every tree you order is matched to this temperature range.

When do trees ship to Lakeland?

Trees headed to zone 5a arrive in spring, timed to the end of severe cold. That means you plant after the ground thaws and before the summer heat sets in, giving the tree the best start.

What size do the trees arrive at?

All trees are nursery-grown to a usable landscape size. They are shipped bare-root or in containers, depending on the species, and are large enough to make an immediate impact in your yard.

What is the 1-Year Thrive Guarantee?

If your tree does not survive its first year, Arbor Buddy replaces it free. No paperwork, no hassle. The guarantee covers the tree itself; you just need to plant it according to the included care guide.

How Lakeland Compares to Other Areas

Compared to ZIP 22654 in Star Tannery, Virginia (VA), zone 7a with winter lows of 0 to 5 degrees F, Japanese maples have an easier time. In Lakeland's zone 5a, the same maples need winter protection and careful siting. For your cart, that means bloodgood and orangeola Japanese maples are possible but require a sheltered spot, while in Star Tannery they can go in more open locations.

ZIP 99018 in Latah, Washington (WA) is zone 6b with lows -5 to 0 F. That gap changes the local shortlist to favor flowering trees like redbuds and crabapples that tolerate colder winters. In Latah, early spring flowers are less risky because the cold ends sooner, but in Lakeland you need to plant varieties that bloom after the last deep freeze.

In ZIP 02889 in Warwick, Rhode Island (RI), zone 7a with lows 0 to 5 F, privacy and screening options expand. Hardy evergreens like Brodie Eastern Red Cedar do well in both zones, but in Warwick you could add broadleaf evergreens that would not survive Lakeland. In practice, buyers here lean toward narrow conifers and deciduous screens that handle the full sweep of Washington County winters.

The bottom line for Lakeland: your zone 5a lets you grow many of the same trees as warmer areas, but you will choose cold-hardy selections and follow placement tips for the most delicate species.
