You have room for a tree.
You like spring flowers and wildlife fruit.

Skip This If

You need a tidy specimen tree.
You dislike suckers or cleanup.
Deer browse is a major issue.

PGNE Report Card

Category	Grade	Why
Landscape Impact	A-	The green-to-burgundy foliage gives strong seasonal color without relying only on flowers.
Growth Rate	A	It fills in quickly, which helps when you want screening or color without waiting years.
Maintenance	C+	Plan on pruning suckers and watching for common cherry issues like black knot or insect damage.
Deer Resistance	C-	Deer readily browse and rub young trees like this, so protect it while it establishes where pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit	D	Its size, suckering habit, and fruit drop make it a poor fit near walks, patios, and foundations.
Screening Value	B+	It works well for a looser screen where fast growth and foliage color matter more than a clipped shape.

Our Experience

At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for the back or side of a property, not the front entry. Give it room, expect pruning, and use it where fast color matters more than a polished shape.

Customers Usually Ask

Does it stay red all season?

New foliage starts green, then turns burgundy-red as the season moves along.

Is the fruit messy?

It can drop fruit, so avoid placing it over patios, walks, or parking areas.

Can it be used as a screen?

Yes, for an informal screen, but it is not the right plant for a narrow hedge.

Why Trees Are a Lasting Investment

Trees bring structure, shade, and long-term value to any landscape. From flowering ornamentals to strong canopy trees, they define property lines, create privacy, and provide cooling relief during the summer months. Over time, trees grow into the most impactful and permanent feature of a landscape, adding both beauty and property value.

Shade & Energy Efficiency - Mature trees reduce summer heat, lower cooling costs, and create comfortable outdoor living spaces.
Long-Term Property - Value Established trees significantly increase curb appeal and overall home value.
Year-Round Landscape - Impact From spring growth to fall color and winter structure, trees provide continuous seasonal interest.
