Quercus palustris 'Green Pillar'
Choose Green Pillar® Pin Oak if you want an oak for a narrow planting area. The tradeoff is simple: it gives structure and fall color, but not the broad shade canopy of a regular oak.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | It gives a strong vertical oak look without taking over the width of a typical shade tree. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It moves along well for an oak, though it still needs time to become a major landscape feature. |
| Maintenance | B | Plan on early structural pruning and cleanup from leaves and acorns as the tree matures. |
| Deer Resistance | C | Young trees like this can be browsed or rubbed by deer, so protect it while it establishes where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | B+ | Its upright habit fits tighter areas better than most oaks, but it is still a real shade tree. |
| Screening Value | C+ | It can add vertical separation, but it is not a dense privacy screen. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this when a customer wants an oak but the planting bed is too narrow for a standard canopy tree. Give it overhead room and protect the trunk while young.

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.
