Best New York Native Trees
Despite New England's reputation for a rugged climate, weather, lots of snow, and Nor'easters, New York's weather is relatively mild and rarely experiences droughts. The deep, rich soil lets many deeply rooted hardwood trees grow to great heights with ease. The forests that cover much of New York include their state tree, the Sugar Maple!
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.
