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.

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.
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!
