Juniperus virginiana 'Brodie'
Choose Brodie when you want a tall native screen that holds a dark green color through winter; the tradeoff is that it is an eastern redcedar, so it can host cedar-apple rust and it grows taller and wider than the chinensis junipers.

PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B+
Dense, dark green and tidy, with a more natural look than the formal chinensis types.
Growth Rate
A-
It is one of the quicker eastern redcedar selections once roots are established.
Maintenance
A-
It holds its shape without shearing in sun and well-drained soil.
Deer Resistance
A-
Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe.
Small Space Fit
B-
At 6-8 ft wide and 20+ ft tall it needs room to mature.
Screening Value
A
Dense to the ground and tall enough to block a second-story view.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd point you to Brodie when you want a native screen that keeps good winter color; if you grow apples or crabapples nearby, we would steer you to a chinensis juniper to avoid cedar-apple rust.

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!
