Juniperus virginiana 'Corcorcor' (Emerald Sentinel)
Choose Emerald Sentinel Juniper if you need a green, upright evergreen screen that stays tidy without constant clipping; the tradeoff is that it needs room to widen, so it is not the tightest columnar juniper we carry.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | It gives strong vertical structure and a clean evergreen look, but it is more practical than showy. |
| Growth Rate | B | It fills in at a steady pace without becoming a plant you constantly have to chase with pruners. |
| Maintenance | A- | Its upright form stays fairly neat, though occasional shaping may still be needed in formal rows. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | This is a strong pick where deer browsing is a concern, though no plant should be treated as untouchable. |
| Small Space Fit | B | It works well in narrow screening beds, but tighter columnar junipers fit better beside walks, drives, and foundations. |
| Screening Value | A- | Its dense green habit makes it a dependable evergreen screen where space allows for its mature spread. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Emerald Sentinel for homeowners who want a practical green screen without the width of many arborvitae and without the skinny look of the narrowest junipers.

Very dedicated and professional. We are happy with the way they planted 14 trees for us. 11 green giants, 2 white pines and 1 Norway spruce.
Picked up my plants-ostrich ferns and blue ice amsonia without any problems! Wonderful, responsive owners! Will be buying from them in the future!
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!
