Trees for Zone 8 in Fort Lawn

Fort Lawn sits in USDA hardiness zone 8a, where winter lows typically dip to 10 to 15 degrees F. That range rules out tropicals that can't take frost but opens the door to a wide variety of shade, flowering, and privacy trees. The summers are warm and humid, so trees with good heat tolerance and disease resistance, like Dura Heat River Birch and Carolina Sapphire Cypress, perform well. The growing season is long enough for fruit trees like Honeycrisp Apple to mature their fruit. For the best results, choose trees listed for zone 8 or lower.
