Picea glauca 'Montrose Charm'
Choose Montrose Charm White Spruce if you want a narrow columnar spruce with pale new growth as a specimen or tight vertical accent. The tradeoff is patience: it gives detail and structure before it gives size.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The pale new growth gives this spruce a clear focal point without needing flowers. |
| Growth Rate | C+ | It is not the plant to buy when you need fast height or quick blocking. |
| Maintenance | B+ | Once placed correctly, it should need little pruning beyond removing damaged growth. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer rarely bother this tree; it is a dependable choice where deer are a concern, though young trunks can still be rubbed. |
| Small Space Fit | B+ | Its narrow columnar habit fits tighter spots where a broad spruce would not. |
| Screening Value | C+ | Its narrow column can screen in a tight row over time, but it is not a fast privacy wall. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this as a specimen or narrow vertical accent, not as a budget screen. Give it room, good drainage, and a spot where the spring flush can be noticed.

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!
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!
