PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B
It gives you a neat low shrub with edible fruit and good fall color, but it will not anchor a large bed by itself.
Growth Rate
B
It fills in at a useful pace for a small edible planting, though it is not an instant mass.
Maintenance
B-
It is manageable when soil acidity and moisture are right, but it can struggle if planted like a basic landscape shrub.
Deer Resistance
C-
Deer readily browse this, so protect it or choose a more deer-resistant plant where pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit
A
Its compact, spreading habit makes it one of the easier blueberries to tuck into smaller beds.
Screening Value
F
It is too low and open to provide privacy or block a view.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Northcountry when the customer wants fruit but does not have room for a full-size blueberry row. Plan the soil first; that matters more than the plant tag.

Customers Usually Ask
Do I need another blueberry nearby?
You can get fruit from one, but another compatible blueberry usually improves the crop.
Can it go in a foundation bed?
Yes, if the bed has enough light, acidic soil, and steady moisture.
Will birds take the berries?
Often, yes; use netting if you want to harvest most of them.
Why Grow Your Own Edible Plants?
Fresh, Homegrown Flavor: Harvest fruits, berries, and herbs at peak ripeness—far fresher than store-bought options.
Functional & Beautiful: Many edible plants offer attractive blooms, foliage, and structure while producing food.
Long-Term Yield: Fruit trees and berry shrubs provide reliable harvests year after year once established.
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.
