Prunus sargentii
Choose Sargent Cherry if you want a cold-hardy flowering cherry with a broad shade-tree feel. The tradeoff is space: this is not a tight-yard patio tree.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | It gives strong spring color and a substantial canopy without feeling delicate. |
| Growth Rate | B | Its moderate pace is steady, but it will not give instant scale. |
| Maintenance | B | Good branching helps, though cherries still benefit from proper placement and occasional pruning. |
| 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 | D | Its broad mature habit makes it a poor fit for tight beds, walkways, and close foundations. |
| Screening Value | C | It can add seasonal coverage, but it is not dense or evergreen enough for dependable privacy. |
At PGNE, we’d typically recommend Sargent Cherry for open lawns where a customer wants a flowering tree with real structure, not a small accent squeezed near the house.

Yes, if the front yard has open space and no overhead crowding.
They may, so protect young trees in areas with regular deer activity.
No, plan for a broad ornamental tree rather than a compact accent.

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!
