PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A
The cutleaf gold foliage gives strong color and texture without depending on flowers.
Growth Rate
B+
It fills in faster than many ornamental small trees, but that speed can mean occasional editing.
Maintenance
B-
Plan on removing unwanted shoots and pruning out older stems as the plant matures.
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
C
Its spreading nature makes it a poor match for tight beds or narrow walkways.
Screening Value
C+
It adds seasonal mass and color, but it is not the right plant for a dense privacy screen.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Tiger Eyes® Sumac for open beds where its shape can loosen up naturally, not for tight front-entry plantings that need crisp edges.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it spread?
Yes, it can send up shoots, so give it space and remove extras early.
Is it good near a house?
Only if the bed is wide enough and you are willing to manage its spread.
Is the color reliable?
The best foliage color comes with strong light and good drainage.

Found this company on GOOGLE, and so glad I did!
I needed trees asap, to create a fence from neighbors. None of the local nurseries had any stock for the Green Giant Arborvitae’s.
Only a 30 min ride, and we were met with the kindest folks and the BEST selection of trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials.
Don’t even bother with the Big Box stores, (if they have them, they are usually half dead) when you can get them bigger and HEALTHIER at Pro Growers. A N D local delivery is readily available!
WHY go anywhere else!
Progrowers was a great company to purchase from. Very fast delivery to my house. The tree seems to be in great condition and is so far doing really well!
