Pinus strobus
Choose White Pine if you have a roomy, sunny, somewhat sheltered spot and want a soft-looking native evergreen that can become a real shade tree. The tradeoff: it is not for tight yards or harsh, windy exposure.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | White Pine has a soft, natural look that works well as a major evergreen feature when given enough room. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It grows at a strong pace once established, which is useful for homeowners who do not want to wait decades for presence. |
| Maintenance | B | It does not need regular shaping, but broken limbs, lower branches, and site-related stress may need attention over time. |
| 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 | D | This is a tree for open space, not a narrow bed, small entry, or close foundation planting. |
| Screening Value | B- | It can provide evergreen cover, but the open, natural habit is less dense than a spruce or arborvitae screen. |
At PGNE, we would steer White Pine toward larger properties first. It is a strong long-term tree when sited with space and some protection, but it is not a shortcut for a tight privacy hedge.

Only if you accept a looser, natural screen; use Norway Spruce for denser cover.
It can struggle in harsh exposure, so give it some shelter if possible.
Usually no; give this tree room away from foundations, walks, and overhead conflicts.

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!
