Choose Pink Flair® Cherry if you want a narrow flowering cherry for a sunny front yard, driveway edge, or street planting. The payoff is clean spring color in a tight footprint; the tradeoff is it is not a privacy tree.

PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A-
The spring flower show is the main draw, with a tidy upright outline the rest of the season.
Growth Rate
B
It grows at a moderate pace, so it will not feel instant but should fill in steadily.
Maintenance
B-
Plan on good siting, mulch, watering during establishment, and light structural pruning when needed.
Deer Resistance
C-
Deer readily browse and rub young trees like this, so protect it while it establishes where pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit
A
Its upright habit makes it much easier to place than broad-spreading flowering cherries.
Screening Value
D
This is an ornamental accent tree, not a plant to block views or create privacy.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Pink Flair® Cherry where the customer wants cherry blossoms but does not have room for a broad canopy. Give it air, sun, and decent soil; do not force it into a wet corner.

Customers Usually Ask
Will it make cherries?
It is grown for flowers, not fruit production.
Can it go near a walkway?
Yes, if you allow room for the mature canopy and keep it pruned cleanly.
Is it good for privacy?
No, choose a denser evergreen or shrub screen for privacy.

Selected for performance in New England
We select flowering cherry varieties that perform best in New England conditions, focusing on structure, bloom quality, and overall landscape performance.
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.
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!
