PGNE Report Card

Category	Grade	Why
Landscape Impact	A-	The raised head and large flower clusters make a clear focal point without taking over the whole bed.
Growth Rate	A-	It puts on size quickly once established, especially with steady moisture and annual pruning.
Maintenance	B-	It is reliable, but the tree form needs pruning to keep the head balanced and supported.
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+	The upright trunk keeps the plant useful near walks, but the flower head still needs room to spread.
Screening Value	D	This is an accent tree, not a privacy plant, and the trunk leaves open space below.

Our Experience

At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for a visible bed where the trunk can be seen and the head can be pruned each spring, not tucked into a dry back corner.

Customers Usually Ask

Does it bloom every year?

Yes, it blooms on new wood, so winter damage is less of a concern than with many bigleaf hydrangeas.

When should I prune it?

Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth starts, keeping the rounded head open and even.

Will it stay as a tree?

Yes, but remove shoots from the trunk and base so it keeps its standard tree form.

Why Trees Are a Lasting Investment

Trees bring structure, shade, and long-term value to any landscape. From flowering ornamentals to strong canopy trees, they define property lines, create privacy, and provide cooling relief during the summer months. Over time, trees grow into the most impactful and permanent feature of a landscape, adding both beauty and property value.

Shade & Energy Efficiency - Mature trees reduce summer heat, lower cooling costs, and create comfortable outdoor living spaces.
Long-Term Property - Value Established trees significantly increase curb appeal and overall home value.
Year-Round Landscape - Impact From spring growth to fall color and winter structure, trees provide continuous seasonal interest.
