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.
Locally grown for New England conditions
Every plant in our Fall Sale is grown or hardened off right here in New Hampshire, so it's already acclimated to New England winters before it ever leaves our nursery.
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.

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!

Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
