I realize that many of our membership is entering into their spring, and many others who are coming into fall in warmer climates still have growing time available, but some of us 'up north' are thinking of overwintering and winter activitises.

As many of you know, I am preparing for a relocation from Zone 5b/6a to Zone 4. In preperation for this move I thought I'd start this thread with thoughts on trees that will be better suited to northern life... and those to avoid. My new home is not yet found, but I (as well as my trees) will be spending mid-May through mid-September at my summer home on the north side of an island in the Adirondacks. The trees will get at best 4-5 hours of direct sun.

I am not worried about overwintering, I feel (and hope I am right) that I will be able to have the proper winter situation for the trees, it is the growing season that I am asking advise about.

So that is the givens... what are the suggestions.....
