Climate and Hardiness Zone Fit in Clearfield County

Clearfield County falls in USDA hardiness zone 6a across its 48 ZIP codes. This means typical winter lows range from -10 to -5 degrees Fahrenheit. That cold window determines which trees thrive here. Tropicals and borderline-hardy species struggle, but cold-hardy shade, flowering, and fruit trees do well.

The county's growing season is moderately short, so early-blooming trees like Cherry Plum may need a spot sheltered from late frosts. In the more rural parts, planting a windbreak of evergreens like Taylor Eastern Red Cedar can protect your yard from winter winds.
