Trees for Zone 6 in Collins
Zone 6a in Collins means winter lows can dip to -10 to -5 degrees F. Not every tree can handle that, but the ones we stock are selected to survive your coldest nights. Shade trees like Cedar Elm and flowering natives like Mexican Plum shrug off the chill.
Japanese maples such as Crimson Queen thrive in zone 6a as long as you site them out of harsh afternoon sun to avoid leaf scorch. Fruit trees like Bing Cherry need protection from late frosts on their blossoms, but the rest of the year they grow well here.
The growing season in Collins is long enough for most trees to establish before winter. Choosing trees zone-matched to 6a ensures they come back strong each spring.
Frequently Asked Questions
When do trees ship to Collins?
Trees ship during the spring and fall windows on either side of summer for zone 6 orders. That timing gives your new trees the best chance to establish before temperature extremes.
What are the best shade trees for Collins?
The Cedar Elm is a top choice for shade in Collins. It handles zone 6a winters well and grows into a reliable canopy. Other options include oaks and maples that tolerate your local conditions.
What size do the trees arrive at?
Trees arrive at a large nursery-grown size, ready to plant. They come either in containers or as balled-and-burlapped specimens, typically 4 to 6 feet tall or more depending on the species.
What is the 1-Year Thrive Guarantee?
Our 1-Year Thrive Guarantee covers your tree for its first year in the ground. If it does not survive due to no fault of your own, we replace it free of charge. No paperwork, no hassle.

How Collins Compares to Other Areas
In Golden Meadow, LA (ZIP 70357, zone 10a, winter lows 30-35 F), Japanese maples often suffer from heat stress. They don't get the winter chill they need. In practice, buyers there lean toward heat-tolerant tropicals and shade trees. Here in Collins, our zone 6a gives Japanese maples like Crimson Queen a chance as long as you avoid scorching afternoon sun.
Manning, OR (ZIP 97125, zone 8b, winter lows 15-20 F) can grow a wider range of fruit trees, including sweet cherries and some stone fruits. Citrus is still too cold. That gap changes the local shortlist to cold-hardy fruits like apples, plums, and the Bing Cherry (with a pollinator). In Collins, you get the chill hours needed for many fruit trees, but must protect blossoms from late frosts.
Albertville, MN (ZIP 55301, zone 4b, winter lows -25 to -20 F) is too cold for any palms or tropicals. Even cold-hardy palms wouldn't survive. For your cart, that means you should skip tropicals altogether and stick with trees that reliably survive zone 6a winters. Your options include the same kinds of shade, flowering, and fruit trees that work across much of the Great Lakes region. These comparisons show that Collins sits in a moderate zone with enough cold to limit citrus and palms but enough warmth to support a wide selection of temperate trees.
