PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A-
Its red, orange, and yellow foliage gives strong color in a small planting.
Growth Rate
B
It fills in at a steady pace without getting out of hand quickly.
Maintenance
B+
A light trim after flowering usually keeps the mound tidy.
Deer Resistance
B+
Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit
A
Its compact mounded habit works well near walks, entries, and low borders.
Screening Value
D
It is too small and deciduous to provide meaningful screening.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for sunny front beds where a small shrub needs to carry color without taking over the planting.

Why buy for fall color
See the actual color before you buy it
Foliage, berries and late bloom — all three seasons of interest
Fall planting means roots established before winter

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…
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!
