PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | It gives a lot of seasonal value without feeling overdone in a New England yard. |
| Growth Rate | B | It grows at a steady pace, but it is not the tree to choose for instant structure. |
| Maintenance | B- | Plan on light pruning and some berry cleanup near walks, patios, or driveways. |
| Deer Resistance | C | Young plants can be browsed, so protection is smart where deer traffic is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | B- | It fits many residential yards, but its spreading, multi-stem habit needs breathing room. |
| Screening Value | C+ | It provides seasonal cover, but it is not dense enough for year-round privacy. |

Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Allegheny Serviceberry where the customer wants a native ornamental that can look natural, not tightly controlled. Give it space, avoid high-traffic fruit-drop areas, and let the branching character develop.

Customers Usually Ask
Are the berries edible?
Yes, but birds often take them quickly before homeowners harvest many.
Is it messy?
Somewhat near hard surfaces; place it away from patios and main walkways.
Can it handle wetter soil?
It is a good candidate for average to damp spots, as long as drainage is not stagnant.
We grow and source ornamental trees selected specifically for New England performance — not just appearance, but reliability, structure, and long-term success in local conditions.
