Choose Weeping White Pine if you want a soft, sculptural evergreen accent with a natural, cascading shape; the tradeoff is that it needs planning and occasional training, not a tight, predictable outline.

PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
A
Its soft needles and weeping habit make it a strong focal point without needing flowers.
Growth Rate
B
It develops steadily once established, but its final look depends more on training than speed.
Maintenance
C+
It is not fussy, but staking, pruning, or guiding branches may be needed to get the shape you want.
Deer Resistance
A-
Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe.
Small Space Fit
C-
It can be trained upward, but its trailing branches still need open space around them.
Screening Value
F
This is a specimen plant, not a dense wall or hedge.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this only when the planting spot has room and the homeowner wants to shape the plant over time rather than install a predictable evergreen mound.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it need staking?
Only if you want it trained upward; otherwise it will trail and spread naturally.
Can it go near a walkway?
Only with enough setback, because the branches can lean, sweep, and spread.
Is it good for screening?
No, use it as a specimen, not as a privacy plant.

Locally grown for New England conditions
Every plant in our Fall Sale is grown or hardened off right here in New Hampshire, so it's already acclimated to New England winters before it ever leaves our nursery.
We use your zone to recommend plants that survive your winters, and to estimate when your
order ships — we ship each plant when the weather where you live is right for it.

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!
