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!

PGNE Report Card
| 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. |
Our Experience
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.

Customers Usually Ask
Does the white color last all season?
No, it is strongest on new growth and then matures greener.
Can I use it for privacy?
Only in a narrow, patient row; pick a faster spruce or arborvitae for quick screening.
Does it need pruning?
Usually not much; avoid shearing it into a hedge.
Why buy evergreen trees in the fall
- Plant now, screened by next summer
- Large sizes we deliver ourselves, fully rigged
- Roots keep growing into November in New England soil
Locally grown for New England conditions
