Understanding Our Container Sizes

At Nature Hills, our plants are sold in industry-standard nursery containers. You will notice we use the word "container" rather than "gallon." Container numbers follow a nursery trade size standard, not liquid volume. The number tells you the plant's size category and general maturity level. A larger container means a more established plant with a stronger root system.

Container Sizes

Quart

Plant age: 6 months to 1 year
Best for: Ground covers, perennials, ornamental grasses
What to expect: Our smallest and most affordable size. Well-suited for planting in multiples across a large area. Allow 1 to 2 seasons for full establishment.

#1 Container

Plant age: 1 to 2 years
Best for: Shrubs, perennials, smaller trees
What to expect: About the size of a large coffee can. A well-developed root system in a manageable size. Good value choice when you have time to let the plant grow into the space over a season or two.

#2 Container

Plant age: 2 to 3 years
Best for: Shrubs and trees where you want faster establishment
What to expect: A noticeable step up from a #1 in both plant size and root development. Good choice when you want visible presence without going to a larger size.

#3 Container

Plant age: 3 to 4 years
Best for: Most plants, most situations — flowering trees, shade trees, evergreen shrubs
What to expect: Our most popular size. Strong, developed root system. Plants in a #3 container make an immediate visual impact from day one. If you want a head start rather than waiting seasons for a plant to fill in, this is typically the right choice.

#5 Container and Larger

Plant age: 4 to 5+ years
Best for: Specimen plants, privacy screens, maximum instant impact
What to expect: Large, mature plants ready to make an immediate statement in your landscape. We also carry #7 and larger sizes for select varieties.

Why "Container" and Not "Gallon"?

Nursery container sizes follow an industry trade standard established for the nursery and horticulture industry. The number is a size designation, not a measurement of liquid volume. Actual soil volume varies by plant type, root mass, and growing medium. Using "container" is the accurate industry term. When you see #1, #2, or #3, think of it as the plant's size tier, not a gallon measurement.

Root Pouch Containers

Some Nature Hills plants arrive in a Root Pouch, a breathable fabric container made from 100% recycled materials. Root Pouches encourage denser root development through air pruning, which discourages root circling and promotes a stronger, more fibrous root ball at the time of planting.

Plants growing in Root Pouch fabric containers, showing the breathable woven fabric construction

There are two types. Knowing which one you have changes how you plant:

Degradable (brown or tan fabric): Plant the entire pouch directly in the ground. The fabric breaks down naturally in the soil over time.
Non-degradable (black or gray fabric): Remove the pouch before planting. Cut the bottom open with scissors, then peel the sides away. The fibrous root ball will hold its shape.

Not sure which type you have? Check the tag on your plant or contact us and we will confirm.

Fuji Apple Tree - Sweet Crisp Fruit!

One of the most prized Apples in the United States, the Fuji Apple Tree (Malus 'Fuji') delivers a spectacular spring display and produces an outstanding fall harvest of fruit. One of the most popular worldwide ornamental edibles, this variety is a native of Japan.

A cross between the Red Delicious and the Virginia Ralls Genet, the refreshing flavor of the Fuji Apple is prized! It's now one of the favorite Apples in the United States. You'll love that hearty crunch when you bite into a Fuji, followed by the succulent, sweet juice that naturally flows from the firm texture of the fruit.

Fuji Apples feature a wonderful dappled pink blush over a yellow-green fruit. They are well known for being juicy, crisp and sweet. The flesh snaps cleanly, and the texture is firm yet tender.

Hardy throughout USDA Growing Zones 6-9, this ornamental landscaping tree has two size options - either choose a Semi-Dwarf tree with an average height of 12 - 18 feet, or the standard height of 18 - 25 feet tall. This variance is due to the root stock used and your growing zone/growing conditions available.

Using Homegrown Fuji Apples

These large, round fruits have a long shelf-life and keep well in storage and will last up to 3 months in a cool, dry and dark location. Even when picked straight off the tree, they will last up to 3 weeks when stored in the refrigerator.

It's great for snacking, as well as a good baking Apple. Use this all-purpose Apple variety for fresh eating, applesauce and all your favorite Apple desserts. The Fuji is great for baking and makes a wonderful Apple juice or cider!

A popular Apple juice combination has been the Fuji pressed with Granny Smith. They'll be the perfect partner for a pollination and juicing partner for the Fuji!

You'll thrill to watch in amazement as the tree bears fruit. These tiny Apples begin to bud out on your tree before slowly growing, day by day, to maturity.

While other Apple varieties are closing up shop for the year and losing their splendor, the late mid-season Fuji is still growing strong! By October, its first red Fujis are ready for harvest.

Grow your own healthy Fuji Apples. You'll feel great about sharing them with your family and friends. With only 80 calories per Apple, but simply bursting with flavor - they'll easily tame your appetite without fear of adding unwanted pounds.

We can't make the same guarantee about Apple pie, crisps and buckles, but life is short, isn't it? There is nothing like the taste of homegrown fruit.

Landscaping With Fuji Apple Trees

Not only all the healthy and tasty benefits from the fruit make this an ideal landscape tree, but Fuji Apple Trees makes a wonderful focal point in your sunny backyard orchard!

The Fuji Apple is awash with delicate, pink-tinged white blooms each spring with a heavenly fragrance. Making them incredible spring focal points. The flowers absolutely envelop each branch - making the tree look more like a floral centerpiece and attract Pollinators!

This popular variety keeps its vibrant green foliage all summer long. Standard and semi-dwarf sized trees provide a lush shade all summer and the perfect backdrop to the developing gems forming on your tree!

Keep the lower branches intact on your tree and enjoy a shrubby edible landscaping tree that doubles as privacy, screening, slow the Wind, as shelterbelts and hedgerow members! Birds will think they've found a slice of heaven when you plant Fuji Apple with one of its many pollinator partners as Tree-forms in an orchard, or in linear hedges together to boost pollination!

#ProPlantTips for Care

Fuji trees can be held to below 10 feet with summer pruning. It is recommended to keep your Apple trees low for easier maintenance and harvests.

Fuji Apple is now considered a low chill cultivar needing less than 500 chill hours and for practical purposes, and is considered to grow beautifully with a 200 to 400-hour chilling range.

Fuji Apple is partially self-fertile in Zone 9, but will produce much larger crops and fruit sets better with a pollinator partner tree in all other Zones. To extend your harvest of Apples, plant with an earlier ripening Honeycrisp or Gala, then add in a mid-season Yellow Delicious Apple. You can also select a late season Granny Smith to extend your harvest over 6 months!

Apple fruit trees require full sun to ensure top quality and sweetness. They prefer well drained soil, so plant them in a raised bed if your soil has less than perfect drainage. Fuji Apple is adapted to a wide range of soil types, but really likes a pH between 6-6.5.

Apples do best in an organic rich soil but will tolerate different types of soil including heavier clay soils. If unsure of the health of your soil, a soil test is always a good idea.

Once established, the Fuji Apple can tolerate periods of drought. Mulching helps to extend the periods between watering and helps to keep the roots cool.

Sunburn can be a problem in areas of low humidity. Protect your newly planted Fuji Apple with a tree trunk wrap, or a whitewash paint of a white interior latex paint diluted by 50% with water. Paint up into the lower canopy to protect the tree's truck from burn.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is fuji apple self pollinating?

Fuji apple trees are not self-pollinating and require cross-pollination from another apple variety to produce fruit. Plant a compatible pollinator like Granny Smith within 50 feet for best fruit production in zones 6-9.

How far apart should you plant Fuji apple trees?

Plant Fuji apple trees 15-20 feet apart for semi-dwarf varieties and 20-25 feet for standard trees. This spacing accommodates their mature size of 12-18 feet (semi-dwarf) or 18-25 feet (standard) while ensuring proper air circulation. Shop at Nature Hills for quality Fuji trees hardy in zones 6-9.

How much sun do Fuji apple trees need?

Fuji apple trees need full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal fruit production. Like most apple varieties, they perform best with maximum sun exposure in USDA zones 6-9. Choose the sunniest spot in your yard for the sweetest, crispest apples.

What type of soil do Fuji apple trees require?

Fuji apple trees thrive in well-draining soil with a pH between 6.0-7.0. They adapt to various soil types but perform best in loamy soil with good organic content. Ensure proper drainage to prevent root rot, especially important in zones 6-9 where these trees flourish.

How do you care for Fuji apple trees?

Fuji apple trees thrive in USDA zones 6-9 and need full sun with well-draining soil. Water regularly during growing season and prune in late winter for best fruit production. Plant a pollinator like Granny Smith nearby for optimal harvest, available at naturehills.com.

What pests affect Fuji apple trees?

Fuji apple trees can face common apple pests like aphids, codling moths, and apple maggots throughout zones 6-9. Scale insects and spider mites may also target these trees during growing season. Monitor regularly and apply horticultural oil or targeted sprays when needed.
