Prunus sargentii 'Columnaris'
Choose Columnar Sargent Cherry if you want pink spring bloom in a narrow footprint; the tradeoff is that it is ornamental, not a shade tree or privacy screen.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The spring bloom and upright outline give it strong presence without taking over the bed. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It develops at a useful pace, though it still needs time to read as a finished tree. |
| Maintenance | B- | Expect seasonal petal drop and occasional pruning to keep the structure clean. |
| 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 | A | Its narrow habit is the main reason to choose it over spreading flowering trees. |
| Screening Value | D | It is too open and seasonal to count on for privacy. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for sunny, visible spots where a wider flowering cherry would crowd the walk, drive, or front foundation bed.

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!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
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.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
