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.
| Mature Height | 45 ft |
|---|---|
| Mature Width | 40 ft |
| Hardiness Zones | 4a-8a |
| Spacing | 35 ft |
| Sun | Full Sun to Part Shade |
| Moisture | Average to moist |
| Growth Habit | Upright, spreading, vase-shaped |
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.

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!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
