The Best Trees for Planting in New Hampshire

New Hampshire’s climate is changeable and has significant variations in both daily and seasonable temperatures. The summer months are cool and short, while the winter season is long and cold. To get the most from your fast-growing trees and shrubs in this climate, you will need to choose varieties that can easily adapt to and thrive in zones 3 and 4 (in the northernmost regions) and zones 5 and 6 in the southern regions.

Hardy favorites are Lombardy and Hybrid Poplar, which make great windbreakers, the colorful Quaking Aspen and our range of red Maples. If you want a tree that is great for planting in rows to form a staunch windbreaker or to increase privacy, check out our Juniper ‘Wichita Blue’. This unusual plant has year-round blue-grey foliage and makes a great hedgerow plant for zones 3-9.

Our range of fast-growing evergreens offers privacy, protection from harsh winds as well as providing a beautiful solution for marking property boundaries. Choose from Thuja Emerald Green or American Holly. These hardy evergreens will soon form a living wall to protect and enhance your residential property.

If you want to add a splash of color, our robust snowball bush will provide huge clusters of creamy-white flowers from early summer and the Purple Lilac is another colorful hedge option. If you live in New Hampshire’s warmer regions, you can also plant any of our Crape Myrtles and Azaleas.
