10 Hardy Trees for a Northern Climate

I have assembled a quick reference for anyone interested in planting a tree or perhaps re-greening a property. For the most part, the selected trees are notable for their hardiness to Zone 3B. Be sure to check your Canadian hardiness zone to understand what may work best for your zone. Every tree has its own character and use in the landscape. You can explore the links attached for further detail on each selection. Check out the blog post on microclimates for more info on zoning and a closer look at the Canadian hardiness zone map.



White Spruce - Picea glauca (Canadian Native)

Poplar - Populus deltoides (Canadian Native)




White Pine - Pinus strobus (Canadian Native)

Red Pine - Pinus resinosa (Canadian Native)
