Trees for Zone 7 in Allentown

Allentown sits in zone 7a, where typical winter lows run about 0 to 5 degrees F. That means the season is long enough for many heat-loving species, but you still get enough chill hours for fruit trees like Elberta Peach. Summers are warm and humid, so trees that handle both the heat and the occasional cold snap do best here.

Shade trees such as Dura Heat River Birch are a natural fit because they thrive in the moisture that the region often provides. Evergreens like Little Gem Southern Magnolia and Skyrocket Juniper hold up well, and flowering ornamentals like Merlot Redbud add color without fighting the climate. The key is choosing trees bred for zone 7a rather than pushing a hardiness boundary.

Nearby areas such as Limeport, Trexlertown, Slatedale, and Laurys Station share the same zone and experience similar conditions. If you’re looking for trees for zone 7 in Allentown, the options above are a solid starting point.

When do trees ship to Allentown?

Trees ship in the spring and fall windows on either side of summer. For zone 7a, that means orders placed now will travel during the mild season when temperatures are easiest on the tree during transit.

Does Arbor Buddy deliver trees to ZIP 18104?

Yes, Arbor Buddy delivers to ZIP 18104 and also to the other Allentown ZIPs: 18101, 18102, 18103, 18105, 18106, and 18109. A freight truck brings your tree to the curb or driveway.

What size do the trees arrive at?

How Allentown Compares to Other Areas

Zone 7a in Allentown is mild enough for many Japanese maples, but cold enough to limit truly subtropical plants. Compare that to ZIP 52806 in Davenport, Iowa (IA), which sits in zone 5b with winter lows of -15 to -10 F. There, Japanese maples are risky because the cold kills the graft union. Locally, that points buyers toward cold-tested Japanese maple varieties or skipping them for hardier ornamental trees. Here in zone 7a, you can plant a Merlot Redbud without worrying about winter dieback.

Now look at ZIP 58621 in Beach, North Dakota (ND), zone 4a, winter lows -30 to -25 F. Cold-hardiness is the only game in town. In Beach, you’re limited to trees like Colorado blue spruce or bur oak. Here, the zone usually pushes the choice toward broadleaf evergreens and fruit trees that would never survive the Dakotas. The practical difference is that you can plant an Elberta Peach in Allentown and count on it to fruit, while Beach residents can’t grow peaches at all.

Finally, ZIP 68777 in Spencer, Nebraska (NE), zone 5a, winter lows -20 to -15 F. It’s hotter and more humid in Nebraska summers than in northern North Dakota, but the cold still rules. Spencer can handle some flowering trees, but southern magnolias are out of the question. The practical difference is that heat and humidity tolerance matters more in Allentown, where summers are sticky and long. Little Gem Southern Magnolia and Skyrocket Juniper handle that combination well, whereas in Spencer, a grower would lean toward cold-adapted junipers and native redbuds.

What all this means for your cart: the trees on this page are chosen because they fit zone 7a’s mild winters and warm, humid summers. You get more variety than colder zones without the restrictions of a truly southern climate.
