Cercis canadensis 'Pink Trim'
Choose Northern Herald® Redbud if you want spring color from a small ornamental tree that can handle colder New England sites; the tradeoff is it gives you a focal point, not privacy screening or a narrow-space tree.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The early magenta-pink flowers make a strong spring focal point before the leaves emerge. |
| Growth Rate | B | It grows at a moderate pace, which is manageable but not instant gratification. |
| Maintenance | B | Give it steady water while establishing and prune lightly after flowering if shaping is needed. |
| Deer Resistance | B+ | Deer tend to leave this tree alone, though young plants can be browsed or rubbed where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | B- | It fits many yards, but the rounded habit needs more elbow room than a columnar tree. |
| Screening Value | D | This is an ornamental focal tree, not a plant for privacy or year-round coverage. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this redbud for customers who like the redbud look but need a tougher choice for inland NH, western MA, or colder Maine sites.

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.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
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!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
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!
