Trees for Zone 6 in Wilkes Barre

Wilkes Barre, PA 18711 sits in USDA hardiness zone 6b, where winter lows typically drop to between -5 and 0 degrees F.

How Wilkes Barre Compares to Other Areas

ZIP 18711 in Wilkes Barre is zone 6b with winter lows near 0 F. That sets it apart from other regions around the country, as seen in these comparisons.

ZIP 32042 in Graham, Florida (FL) sits in zone 9a with lows of 20 to 25 F. That warmth allows fruit trees like citrus to grow unprotected. In practice, buyers here lean toward tropical and subtropical choices. In Wilkes Barre, fruit choices center on cold-hardy varieties, and citrus is not an option outdoors.

ZIP 30527 in Clermont, Georgia (GA) is zone 8a with lows of 10 to 15 F. That makes palms and many broadleaf evergreens viable. That gap changes the local shortlist to include plants like Southern magnolia and camellia. For your cart, that means tropicals and palms are off the table in Wilkes Barre, while hardy evergreens like Blue Atlas Cedar thrive.

ZIP 20027 in Washington, District of Columbia (DC) is also zone 8a with similar winter lows. There, privacy screening options include Leyland cypress and English laurel. For your cart, that means the species list for screening shifts: in Wilkes Barre, you need plants that handle colder winters, like spruce and arborvitae, rather than the borderline-evergreens used in DC.

What these contrasts mean for your cart: stick with trees proven for zone 6b. The species that thrive in warmer zones will not survive a typical Wilkes Barre winter.
