Choose Dakota Pinnacle Birch if you want the white-bark birch look in a narrow footprint. The tradeoff: it still wants decent soil moisture and good light, so skip it for hot, dry, compacted spots.

PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A-
The white bark and upright shape give strong structure without taking over the bed.
Growth Rate
B+
It fills in at a useful pace, but it is not an instant wall.
Maintenance
B
Its improved borer resistance helps, but birches still do best when watered during dry stretches.
Deer Resistance
B+
Deer tend to leave this tree alone, though young plants can be browsed or rubbed where pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit
A
The tight upright form works well where a rounded shade tree would crowd the space.
Screening Value
B+
It gives height and filtered privacy, though it will not block like an evergreen.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for customers who want birch character without using a wide, multi-stem tree. Give it room above and avoid harsh, dry planting strips.

Customers Usually Ask
Is it better than standard white birch?
Yes, it was selected for improved resistance to bronze birch borer.
Will it make a solid privacy wall?
No, it gives height and screening, but it is not a dense evergreen.
Does it need pruning?
Very little; protect the central leader and remove damaged branches as needed.
Why Choose Ornamental & Accent Trees?
Spring Flower Impact: Cherries and serviceberry deliver standout blooms that define the season.
Fall Color & Seasonal Interest: Ginkgo and serviceberry provide reliable, high-impact color late in the year.
Form & Structure: Weeping, upright, and spreading forms create focal points and visual balance in the landscape.
We grow and source ornamental trees selected specifically for New England performance — not just appearance, but reliability, structure, and long-term success in local conditions.
Found this company on GOOGLE, and so glad I did!
I needed trees asap, to create a fence from neighbors. None of the local nurseries had any stock for the Green Giant Arborvitae’s.
Only a 30 min ride, and we were met with the kindest folks and the BEST selection of trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials.
Don’t even bother with the Big Box stores, (if they have them, they are usually half dead) when you can get them bigger and HEALTHIER at Pro Growers. A N D local delivery is readily available!
WHY go anywhere else!
Progrowers was a great company to purchase from. Very fast delivery to my house. The tree seems to be in great condition and is so far doing really well!
It helps us recommend plants that are best for your local climate, based on your growing zone. Also, because we ship plants based on when they are best for your local climate, it allows us to give you a more accurate estimate of when your order will ship.
