Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements

This unique growth makes it a point of interest in any garden or landscape!

These evergreens appreciate regular, moderate moisture access throughout the year, especially before winter when you live in a location with drying northern winds. Deer are usually not an issue and pests and diseases are never an issue!
