Myrica pensylvanica
Choose Northern Bayberry for a native, tough informal screen in sandy or lean acidic soil; the tradeoff is its suckering habit, so it belongs where a natural colony is welcome, not in a tight formal bed.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B | It gives a rugged native look with gray winter fruit when pollinated, but it is not grown for showy flowers. |
| Growth Rate | B | It fills in steadily once established without being as aggressive as many fast hedge shrubs. |
| Maintenance | B- | It is tough after establishment, but suckers should be thinned if you want a controlled edge. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe. |
| Small Space Fit | C- | Its broad habit and suckering make it a poor fit for narrow beds or tight walkways. |
| Screening Value | B | It works well as an informal seasonal screen, but it will not make a dense formal privacy wall. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Northern Bayberry for borders where a loose, native screen is the goal. Give it room, avoid overfeeding, and plan on thinning suckers instead of shaping it like boxwood.

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…
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!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
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!
