Viburnum dentatum
Choose Arrowwood if you want a tough native-style shrub for an informal hedge, wildlife planting, or property edge. Its strength is dense seasonal cover with flowers and berries; the tradeoff is that it needs room and won’t give evergreen winter privacy.
Buy This If
You want a natural deciduous hedge.
Birds are part of the plan.
You have room for a broad shrub.
Skip This If
You need evergreen winter privacy.
The site is tight or formal.
Soil stays very dry or soggy.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B+
It gives spring bloom, berries when pollinated, and a natural shrub shape, but it is not a formal focal point.
Growth Rate
B
It fills in at a steady pace without becoming a constant pruning job.
Maintenance
B
It needs occasional thinning and cleanup, especially if you want to control size.
Deer Resistance
C
This isn't deer-resistant; deer may browse it, especially tender new growth, so protect it where deer pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit
D
It wants elbow room and can overwhelm tight beds near walks, steps, or windows.
Screening Value
B+
It makes a dense seasonal screen, but it drops leaves and will not block winter views.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we’d typically use Arrowwood in a mixed border or loose hedge, not a tight front-bed lineup. Give it space, pair with another compatible viburnum when berries matter, and prune after flowering.
Usually better with another compatible viburnum nearby for pollination.
Is it good for privacy?
Yes for seasonal screening, not for winter privacy.
Can I keep it small?
Not easily; choose a smaller shrub if space is limited.

Shrubs Grown to Perform in New England
At Pro Growers of New England, our shrubs are grown and maintained locally to perform in true New England conditions. From flowering varieties to evergreen foundation plants, each shrub is properly spaced, pruned, and cared for to develop strong root systems and balanced structure before it ever reaches your landscape.
Unlike large online sellers that ship plants long distances, we invite you to visit our nursery, walk the rows, and inspect the exact shrubs available. You can see the size, health, and fullness in person — ensuring there are no surprises upon delivery.
We use your zone to show which plants are hardy where you live.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!

They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.

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!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
