Trees for Zone 4 in Richmond

In Richmond, zone 4b means winter lows can dip to -25 to -20 degrees F. That rules out trees that need milder winters, like many Japanese maples or southern magnolias. But cold-hardy options thrive here. Our featured trees, including Bur Oak and Honeycrisp Apple, handle these lows easily. The growing season is short but intense, so trees that flower or fruit in spring and summer do well. For evergreen screens, junipers like Hetz Columnaris are reliable. Shade trees like Weeping Willow add grace near water sources. Browse the trees for zone 4 in Richmond to see what fits your yard.
