Want to replenish native trees in your state? Find the best selection of indigenous species for the Garden State of New Jersey here at Nature Hills Nursery!

Choosing native trees for your State means you will know your tree will thrive where it is well suited to climate and soil because they originated there! They need less water once established. Native selections establish faster and tolerate local growing zones, climate, weather, and anything else your State can throw at them.

Plus you’ll feed pollinators, and songbirds, plus provide food for the wide variety of wildlife from trees and plants they recognize!

Best New Jersey Native Trees

Ranging from USDA growing zones 6 to 7 throughout the state, and despite New England's reputation for a rugged climate, weather, lots of snow, and Nor'easters, New Jersey's weather is relatively mild and rarely experiences droughts but occasionally the odd over-achieving hurricane as well.

First, find your Hardiness Zone, and then choose any tree that has a range that includes yours! Check with your local County Extension Office for more information if needed and for the many microclimates within these zones.
