Pinus strobus 'Stowe Pillar'
Choose Stowe Pillar Eastern White Pine if you want a native-looking evergreen screen with softer texture than spruce or arborvitae; the tradeoff is that it still needs real room and will not make a clipped, formal wall.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | It gives strong vertical structure without the stiff look of many screening evergreens. |
| Growth Rate | B | It should make steady progress once established, but it is not the fastest screen we sell. |
| Maintenance | B | It needs little shaping if placed correctly, but poor siting will create pruning problems later. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer rarely bother this tree; it is a dependable choice where deer are a concern, though young trunks can still be rubbed. |
| Small Space Fit | B | Its very narrow columnar habit fits tighter spots than most pines, though it still gains real height. |
| Screening Value | A- | It works well where you want height and privacy with a looser, natural edge. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this when a customer likes white pine but does not have room for a standard wide pine. Give it space up front rather than planning to prune it hard later.

Yes, if you want a softer, narrow screen and can allow mature height.
It has good deer resistance, but no evergreen should be treated as immune.
No; light correction is fine, but hard shearing ruins the natural pine form.

Very dedicated and professional. We are happy with the way they planted 14 trees for us. 11 green giants, 2 white pines and 1 Norway spruce.
Picked up my plants-ostrich ferns and blue ice amsonia without any problems! Wonderful, responsive owners! Will be buying from them in the future!
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!
