very dry

was very dry in box,candles were curled over -recovered after several days in ground and daily watering

Hi,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We truly appreciate your feedback, and we’re glad to hear that your plants recovered after a few days in the ground with daily watering. We understand how concerning it can be to receive a plant that seems dry or curled upon arrival.

Several factors, like weather during transit and packaging conditions, can contribute to the dryness you noticed. To help avoid this in the future, we recommend immediately soaking the roots in water for an hour or so when you unbox your plants, then planting promptly in moist soil. Continued watering as you did is essential while they acclimate and establish.

If you ever have questions about planting or care, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re more than happy to provide tips tailored to your specific order or gardening location.

Wishing you happy planting,

Dear Mac,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with your order. We truly appreciate your honest feedback. We understand how concerning it can be to receive plants that appear dry and a bit curled initially, and we’re glad to hear that with daily watering and some time in the ground, your plants have been able to recover and thrive.

In the future, if you ever notice dryness like this upon arrival, giving the roots a soak before planting can also help rehydrate them more quickly. Additionally, planting in moist, well-draining soil will support their transition happily. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need specific planting advice or care tips—our team is always here to assist!

Thank you again for your trust in Nature Hills, and we hope your garden continues to flourish beautifully.

Big tree

I like the tree but it is getting too big for the location. I should have thought of that 30 years ago. Eventually this tree will need some room.

Hi James,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with your Eastern White Pine Tree! It’s wonderful to hear you’re enjoying this majestic addition to your property. Eastern White Pines are known for their impressive size and graceful presence, so it’s quite common for them to eventually need some extra room to stretch out. If you’re considering managing its growth, regular pruning can help control its shape and size, but make sure to do it in late winter or early spring for the best results.

If relocating the tree isn’t an option in the future, you might also look into planting new trees with growth habits more suited to your available space. Our resource section on adjusting tree placement and care could offer useful guidance as you plan ahead.

We’re always here if you need tips on pruning, care, or anything else tree-related!

If you’re considering options as it grows, you might explore professional pruning to maintain its shape and size or even how to safely transplant it to a more spacious location if possible. Keeping the tree well-pruned will help maintain its health and appearance without overwhelming the space. We also have some helpful guides on managing larger trees that might prove useful—please feel free to reach out if you’d like some resources or suggestions tailored to your area.
