PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A-
The weeping shape and spring bloom give it a clear focal-point role without taking over the yard.
Growth Rate
B
It grows at a steady pace, so it fills in reasonably without becoming a fast problem.
Maintenance
B-
Plan on light pruning to keep the weeping form clean and branches off walkways.
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
A
This is one of the better cherry options when you want weeping form without a large canopy.
Screening Value
D
It is too open and ornamental to work as a real screen.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically place this where it can be seen up close, not buried in a mixed border, because the shape is the main reason to buy it.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it need pruning?
Yes, light pruning helps keep the weeping branches tidy and away from paths.
Is it good near a patio?
Yes, if you leave room for the branches to drape naturally.
Will it provide privacy?
No, choose a denser tree or shrub if screening is the goal.

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!
