Trees for Zone 5 in Whitewater

Trees for zone 5 in Whitewater must survive winter lows of -15 to -10 degrees F. That cold rules out many broadleaf evergreens and tender ornamentals. Your zone 5b climate suits tough shade trees like Allee Chinese Elm and resilient conifers like Emerald Green Arborvitae. Deciduous trees that go dormant handle the freeze well.

Whitewater's winters are cold enough to meet the chill requirements of many fruit trees. Apples, pears, and plums do well with proper pollination.
