Thuja occidentalis 'Techny'
Choose Techny Arborvitae for a dense, prunable green hedge or screen where a tidy look matters. The tradeoff: it needs shaping and smart placement, and deer can be a real problem.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | It gives a clean, solid evergreen backdrop, but it is more practical than showy. |
| Growth Rate | B | It fills in at a useful pace without becoming hard to manage right away. |
| Maintenance | B- | It takes pruning well, but a neat hedge still needs regular attention. |
| 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 | B | It can work in tighter areas if you are committed to pruning. |
| Screening Value | A- | Its dense branching makes it a strong choice for privacy and wind buffering. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Techny when the goal is a formal hedge and the site can be watered during establishment. If deer are common, ask us about placement or choose Virescens Red Cedar instead.

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!
