Cornus racemosa
Choose Gray Dogwood for native, wildlife-friendly massing where it can spread and fill in tough ground. The tradeoff is its colonizing habit: this is not the shrub for a tight front-foundation bed or clipped formal hedge.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B- | It gives a natural, layered look with spring bloom, berries, and fall color, but it reads informal rather than polished. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It fills in readily once established, especially where suckers are allowed to develop. |
| Maintenance | C+ | Plan on pruning or removing suckers if you need to keep it within a defined area. |
| Deer Resistance | C | This isn't deer-resistant; deer may browse it, especially tender new growth, so protect it where deer pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | D | Its spreading colony habit makes it a poor fit where every foot needs to stay open. |
| Screening Value | B | It can make a useful seasonal screen in a natural border, but it drops leaves in winter. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Gray Dogwood for property edges, restoration-style plantings, and wildlife areas, not tight beds that need a clean, fixed outline.

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!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
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!
