Viburnum plicatum f. tomentosum 'Shasta'
Choose Shasta Doublefile Viburnum if you have room for a wide, layered spring-flowering shrub; its main payoff is branch structure and bloom, but the tradeoff is space—this is not a foundation filler.
Buy This If
You want strong spring bloom.
You have room for spread.
You like horizontal branching.
Skip This If
You need a narrow screen.
You want evergreen cover.
Deer browse heavily there.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A
It gives a strong spring show and a layered shape that reads well from a distance.
Growth Rate
B
It builds steadily, but it is not the fastest way to fill a blank spot.
Maintenance
B
It needs room more than pruning, and hard shearing will ruin the natural branching.
Deer Resistance
C
This isn't deer-resistant; deer may browse it, especially tender new growth, so protect it where deer pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit
D
Its wide habit makes it a poor match for narrow beds, walkways, and tight corners.
Screening Value
B-
It can soften views in season, but it drops leaves and is not a dense evergreen screen.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Shasta for open beds where its width can be used, not fought. Give it room up front and avoid pruning it into a ball.

Customers Usually Ask
Can I use it by the front door?
Only if the bed is generous; it gets too wide for most entry plantings.
Does it need another viburnum for fruit?
Fruit is usually better with another compatible viburnum nearby.
Should I shear it?
No; prune selectively after bloom if needed and keep the layered shape.

Shrubs Grown to Perform in New England
At Pro Growers of New England, our shrubs are grown and maintained locally to perform in true New England conditions. From flowering varieties to evergreen foundation plants, each shrub is properly spaced, pruned, and cared for to develop strong root systems and balanced structure before it ever reaches your landscape.
Unlike large online sellers that ship plants long distances, we invite you to visit our nursery, walk the rows, and inspect the exact shrubs available. You can see the size, health, and fullness in person — ensuring there are no surprises upon delivery.
We use your zone to show which plants are hardy where you live.

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.
