Arctostaphylos uva-ursi 'Massachusetts'
Choose Massachusetts Bearberry for a dry, sandy slope or native groundcover where turf struggles; the tradeoff is patience, because it fills in steadily rather than giving instant cover.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B | It gives a low native carpet with spring flowers and red berries, but it will not read strongly from a distance. |
| Growth Rate | C+ | It spreads steadily, but customers should plan for gradual coverage rather than an instant filled-in bed. |
| Maintenance | A- | Once established, it needs little pruning and handles lean soil, but weed control matters while it fills in. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe. |
| Small Space Fit | A | Its low habit works well in tight strips, slopes, and edges as long as drainage is good. |
| Screening Value | F | This is a groundcover, not a privacy or screening plant. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this where drainage is sharp and competition is low; prepare the area well, because early weed pressure is what makes bearberry look uneven.

Yes, that is one of its better uses once roots are established.
No; rich, wet soil can work against it.
No; use mulch or erosion fabric while it roots and fills in.

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!
