Viburnum lentago
Choose Nannyberry Viburnum for a native privacy screen or wildlife border where it has room to grow; the tradeoff is a looser, more natural shape than a clipped hedge.
Buy This If
You want native shrub structure.
Bird habitat matters to you.
You have room for a broad screen.
Skip This If
You need a narrow evergreen wall.
You want a clipped formal hedge.
You have limited planting depth.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A-
It gives spring flowers, clean summer foliage, fall color, and bird-friendly fruit without looking overly ornamental.
Growth Rate
B+
It fills in at a useful pace, though it is not an instant screen the first season.
Maintenance
B
It needs occasional thinning or shaping if you want it kept orderly near lawns, walks, or driveways.
Deer Resistance
C
This isn't deer-resistant; deer may browse it, especially tender new growth, so protect it where deer pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit
D
This is a large, spreading shrub that quickly feels crowded in compact beds.
Screening Value
B+
It makes a strong seasonal screen, but it drops leaves in winter and will not block like an evergreen.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we’d typically recommend Nannyberry for property lines, meadow edges, and mixed native screens where a natural shape is welcome. Give it space early, and avoid forcing it into a tight foundation role.

Customers Usually Ask
Will it make berries?
Yes, it can produce blue-black fruit that birds use, especially when pollination conditions are good.
Can I keep it small?
Not easily; pruning can manage shape, but this plant wants to become a large shrub.
Is it good for privacy?
Yes for seasonal privacy, especially in a mixed border, but it is not an evergreen winter screen.
Why buy for fall color

Shrubs Grown to Perform in New England
At Pro Growers of New England, our shrubs are grown and maintained locally to perform in true New England conditions. From flowering varieties to evergreen foundation plants, each shrub is properly spaced, pruned, and cared for to develop strong root systems and balanced structure before it ever reaches your landscape.
Unlike large online sellers that ship plants long distances, we invite you to visit our nursery, walk the rows, and inspect the exact shrubs available. You can see the size, health, and fullness in person — ensuring there are no surprises upon delivery.
We use your zone to show which plants are hardy where you live.

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!

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!
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.
