PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A-
It gives a yard a clean, established shade-tree look without needing an unusual form.
Growth Rate
B+
It grows at a useful pace, but it is still a long-term shade tree rather than an instant canopy.
Maintenance
B
Its natural structure is a plus, though young trees still benefit from proper pruning and room to develop.
Deer Resistance
C-
Deer readily browse and rub young trees like this, so protect it while it establishes where pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit
D
This tree needs open space and is not a good fit near houses, wires, or narrow beds.
Screening Value
C+
It can block views in season, but it is better used as a shade tree than as a privacy screen.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it flower?
Yes, it produces fragrant yellow flowers in early summer that pollinators use.
Is it good near a patio?
Only if there is enough overhead and side room for a full shade canopy.
Will deer bother it?
It has good deer resistance, though no tree should be treated as completely immune.
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
Locally grown for New England conditions
Every plant in our Fall Sale is grown or hardened off right here in New Hampshire, so it's already acclimated to New England winters before it ever leaves our nursery.
We use your zone to recommend plants that survive your winters, and to estimate when your
order ships — we ship each plant when the weather where you live is right for it.

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!
