PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B+
It gives a clean vertical look, but it is more practical than showy.
Growth Rate
B
Growth is steady, though not as quick as larger screening arborvitae.
Maintenance
A-
It usually needs little shaping if planted with enough room.
Deer Resistance
C
This is not the arborvitae to gamble on where deer feed heavily.
Small Space Fit
A
Its narrow habit makes it one of the better privacy choices for tight yards.
Screening Value
A-
It makes a dense screen where space is limited, but wider sites have faster options.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend North Pole® Arborvitae for homeowners who want a clean evergreen screen but do not have room for a broad hedge.

Customers Usually Ask
Is North Pole® better than Emerald Green?
Choose North Pole® when space is tighter or you want steadier winter color; choose Emerald Green for a slightly fuller, more traditional arborvitae row.
Will deer leave it alone?
No guarantee here; if deer are a regular problem, choose a different screening plant.
Does it need pruning?
Usually not much, beyond correcting stray growth or keeping the row neat.
Why Choose Arborvitaes for Privacy & Year-Round Coverage?
Arborvitaes are the gold standard for privacy screens and evergreen structure in New England landscapes. Known for their dense foliage, year-round color, and cold hardiness, these fast-growing evergreens create natural boundaries, wind protection.
Fast, Dense Privacy: Quick-growing varieties fill in efficiently to create natural screening from neighbors or roads.
Year-Round Evergreen Color: Maintain consistent greenery through winter when other plants go dormant.
Cold Hardy & Reliable: Built to withstand northern climates, arborvitaes provide dependable long-term structure.
Why Choose Pro Growers of New England for Arborvitaes?
At Pro Growers of New England, our arborvitaes are grown and maintained locally for real New England conditions — not boxed up and shipped across the country. Every plant is carefully selected, properly spaced, and allowed to develop strong root systems before ever leaving the nursery.
Unlike large online sellers, you’re welcome to visit our nursery in person, walk the rows, inspect the exact plants available, and see firsthand how they’re grown. That means no surprises, no guessing, and no damaged plants from long-distance transit.
We use your zone to recommend plants that survive your winters, and to estimate when your
order ships — we ship each plant when the weather where you live is right for it.

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!
