Choose Pro Growers Fertilizer when you’re planting new trees or shrubs and want faster root establishment. The tradeoff: it is not a fix for poor watering, compacted soil, or planting too deep.
Buy This If
You are planting woody plants.
You want stronger root establishment.
You can still water consistently.
Skip This If
The plant is already established.
The soil stays soggy.
Watering will be unreliable.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B
It supports the planting work you already did, but it does not create visible impact by itself.
Growth Rate
B+
It can help new roots get moving, especially when paired with correct watering and planting.
Maintenance
A-
It is simple to use at planting, but it still needs to be applied correctly.
Deer Resistance
C
It does not make a plant more or less likely to be browsed by deer.
Small Space Fit
A
It works for small plantings because it takes no landscape space.
Screening Value
C+
It can help screening plants establish, but it is not a substitute for choosing the right screen.
Compare It To
Tree Bag
Choose Tree Bag first if you may miss watering; choose Pro Growers Fertilizer if watering is covered and you want root support at planting.
Mulch
Choose Mulch if soil moisture and weed control are the main issues; choose Pro Growers Fertilizer if the plant needs feeding at install.
Drip Irrigation Setup KIT - 100 ft
Choose Drip Irrigation Setup KIT - 100 ft for multiple new plants; choose Pro Growers Fertilizer as the feeding add-on, not the watering plan.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we’d typically recommend this with newly planted trees and shrubs, especially when the homeowner is already committed to watering and proper mulch.

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.
