Trees for Zone 5 in Valparaiso

Zone 5b defines Valparaiso's winters with lows of -15 to -10 degrees Fahrenheit. That rules out tender evergreens and most broadleaf evergreens. Deciduous trees that go dormant survive well. Summers are warm but not humid enough to cause disease pressure in most hardy trees. Shade oaks and hardy fruit trees like Elberta Peach perform well. Japanese maples need protection from wind and afternoon sun. Planting in spring gives roots time to establish before the next cold season. Homeowners in Saunders County can rely on trees for zone 5 in Valparaiso that match these conditions.
