For this Scrub Hub, we are looking at how climate change is altering the types of trees that will be able to survive and thrive in Indiana.
types of plants that will thrive and those that won’t survive as the climate changes around us are evolvingFor this edition of the Scrub Hub, we are answering the questions: What kind of trees can I plant in the future? How is the climate changing what Hoosiers’ yards will look like years from now?
Planting a tree may seem simplistic, but there is a lot that goes into picking the right one: Is it a native species? What’s the size? Do you want a flowering tree? Now there’s yet another question homeowners will have to consider: Can it stand the test of time with how the climate is changing?As the climate warms, trees might find themselves in “uncomfortable” situations.
So knowing which trees are better equipped to handle the warmer weather and Indiana’s changing growing zones can be key to keeping them alive. But it means Hoosiers may need to look at a different palette of trees that can thrive in the landscape.The climate is warming fast enough these days to change the hardiness zones within the lifespan of a tree.
When looking around locally, a white oak is well adapted for today and will be decades from now, according to Smith.
