Native Trees of Georgia
by Coder Planting Zones
by Dr. Kim D. Coder, Warnell School of Forestry & Natural Resources
Native trees represent a great ecological bounty and a rich cultural history in Georgia. Native
trees live from the mountains to the sea in many diverse habitats and under many environmental constraints. Native trees add value, comfort, and beauty to life in Georgia. They have provided medicine,
food, fiber, shelter, recreation and aesthetic values. Native trees witnessed the arrival of many groups of
explorers and settlers, many groups of Native Americans, and a number of ice ages. Native trees are
wonderfully adapted to a local area’s climate, soils, pests and other plants. There is a native tree wellsuited for every planting site or landscape position.
A “tree” is defined as a perennial, woody, single-stemmed plant capable of attaining a size
greater than 15 feet in total height and greater than 4 inches in stem diameter. A “native” tree is generally defined as being found within the last three centuries growing wild and reproducing naturally, and
not introduced to an area by human activities. A tree is considered “native in Georgia” if it was not
originally brought to Georgia by people, it is found growing and reproducing naturally in the Georgia
landscape, and its gene sets developed and succeeded under Georgia’s environmental conditions before
human dominance of the land.
Key to proper selection of a native tree for planting on any particular site is assuring it can handle
various climatic and micro-site characteristics. One critical value for native trees is surviving and
thriving under the normal temperature and precipitation requimes expected on a site. This attribute of
surviving and thriving under normal, average temperature and precipitation conditions is summarized as
Coder tree planting zones. The Coder tree planting zone map for Georgia is given in Figure 1.
Most trees can do well for many years beyond their planting zones, especially in high quality or
protected areas. Young trees are much more tolerant of environmental constraints than are older trees.
Coder tree planting zones help demonstrate where native trees should perform best. Beginning tree
planting close to a tree’s native range, as shown within the tables in this publication, will help you
design and plant an effective and efficient native landscape.
Table 1 = trees growing in Coder planting zone 1 -- 112 species; Table 2 = trees growing in
Coder planting zone 2 -- 113 species; Table 3 = trees growing in Coder planting zone 3 -- 102 species;
Table 4 = trees growing in Coder planting zone 4 -- 105 species; Table 5 = trees growing in Coder
planting zone 5 -- 123 species; Table 6 = trees growing in Coder planting zone 6 -- 139 species; Table 7
= trees growing in Coder planting zone 7 -- 116 species; Table 8 = trees growing in all Coder planting
zones in Georgia -- 35 species (zones 1-7 -- a statewide planting distribution).
