Park-grade clearance lot: Autumn Brilliance Serviceberry in #5 fabric bags, multi-stem at 24-30" and on the leggy/open side rather than full and bushy. Same tough native tree — spring bloom, summer berries for birds, and strong fall color — just a looser starter form priced to move. Photo shows actual stock.

PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B
Strong long-term seasonal interest; the leggy start just needs a season or two to fill.
Growth Rate
B
Steady; not an instant-size tree.
Maintenance
B-
Some early shaping to build fullness, plus berry cleanup near hard surfaces.
Deer Resistance
C-
Deer browse and rub young trees like this; protect while establishing.
Small Space Fit
B-
Fits many yards but wants room for its spreading multi-stem habit.
Screening Value
C+
Softens a view in season; not a dense evergreen screen.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd grab these for the value: a leggy #5 serviceberry trains up into a lovely multi-stem native in a couple seasons. Plant it, tip-prune to encourage branching, and you've got a full-price tree for clearance money.

Customers Usually Ask
Why is it cheaper?
It's a park-grade, leggy grade-out — same plant, looser form. Priced to clear.
Will it fill out?
Yes — tip-prune the first season or two and it bushes up nicely.
Are the berries edible?
Yes, though birds usually beat you to them.
CLEARANCE
Locally grown for New England conditions
Every plant in our Fall Sale is grown or hardened off right here in New Hampshire, so it's already acclimated to New England winters before it ever leaves our nursery.
We use your zone to recommend plants that survive your winters, and to estimate when your
order ships — we ship each plant when the weather where you live is right for it.

Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!

Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
