PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A
The weeping form and spring bloom make it a strong focal tree where it has room to stand alone.
Growth Rate
B+
It grows at a useful pace for a specimen tree without becoming a fast, hard-to-control plant.
Maintenance
B-
Plan on light pruning for shape, cleanup after bloom and leaf drop, and attention to watering while it establishes.
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
C+
It can work in a smaller yard, but not in a narrow bed or tight spot against the house.
Screening Value
D
This is a specimen tree, not a privacy plant, and it drops its leaves in winter.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this where the tree can be viewed from the house or street, not tucked into a mixed border where the weeping shape gets lost.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it need pruning?
Yes, light pruning helps keep the weeping shape clean and removes crossing or damaged branches.
Is it good near a patio?
Yes, if there is enough open soil and clearance for the canopy to develop.
Will it give privacy?
No, use it as a specimen tree, not as a screen.

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.
