Trees for Zone 5 in Clarks

Clarks falls in USDA hardiness zone 5b, where winter lows drop to about -15 to -10 degrees Fahrenheit. That means many popular trees from warmer zones simply won't survive the cold.

Shade trees like Dura Heat River Birch and evergreens like American Pillar Arborvitae handle the extremes. Flowering ornamental such as The Rising Sun Eastern Redbud bring reliable spring color, while fruit trees like Elberta Peach get enough winter chill to produce.
