Juniperus virginiana 'Hillspire'
Choose Hillspire Juniper if you need a narrow evergreen screen that looks structured without taking over the bed. The tradeoff: it wants a dry, sunny site and will not make a soft, leafy hedge.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | It gives a clean vertical look without feeling as stiff as the skinniest junipers. |
| Growth Rate | B | It fills in at a steady pace, but it is not the pick for instant screening. |
| Maintenance | A- | Once established, it needs little pruning if planted with enough room. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | This is a strong option where browsing is a concern, though no plant is guaranteed untouched. |
| Small Space Fit | A- | Its upright habit works well where broader evergreens would crowd walks, drives, or foundations. |
| Screening Value | B+ | It makes a solid narrow screen, but the look stays more columnar than hedge-like. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Hillspire when a customer wants an evergreen screen but does not have room for a wide arborvitae or a broad juniper.

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!
