You want a compact viburnum.
You like seasonal color changes.
You need a natural low hedge.
Skip This If
You need an evergreen screen.
You need a very narrow shrub.
Deer browse is severe and unprotected.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B+
It gives spring bloom, red fruit, fall color, and winter stem color without taking over the bed.
Growth Rate
B
It fills in steadily, but it is not the fastest hedge shrub we sell.
Maintenance
B
It needs little routine pruning, though older stems can be thinned after flowering.
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
B-
It is compact for this type, but still needs room to mature naturally.
Screening Value
C+
It can soften a property line in leaf, but it will not screen like an evergreen.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically place this where it can grow as a rounded shrub, not where constant shearing is needed. Give it a compatible viburnum nearby if fruit is a priority.

Customers Usually Ask
Will it fruit by itself?
It may, but fruiting is usually better with a compatible highbush cranberry nearby, such as Wentworth Highbush Cranberry.
Is the fruit edible?
The fruit is very tart and mainly used for jelly or left for wildlife.
Does it need much pruning?
Not much; prune after flowering only to shape or remove older stems.
Why buy for fall color

Fall planting means roots established before winter
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 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.

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!
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…
