Trees for Zone 5 in Wayzata

Zone 5a in Wayzata means winter lows that can dip to -20 to -15 degrees F. That cold rules out many broadleaf evergreens and tender ornamentals. But it also creates a clear list of what works: shade trees like river birch, native evergreens like Eastern Redcedar, and tough flowering trees like eastern redbud.

For trees for zone 5 in Wayzata, the reliable picks come from categories that handle a real freeze. Shade trees and native evergreens are the most forgiving.
