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
Container Plant Sizes
Container sizes indicate plant age and growing capacity rather than liquid volume equivalents. Our containers follow industry-standard nursery "trade gallon" specifications, which differ from standard liquid gallon measurements.

#ProPlantTips For Care
Full sun-loving Arborvitae won't burn and retains it through winter but handles part shade just as easily too! Hardy growing zones 3-7, they are incredibly cold-resistant! New plants appreciate some protection from cold, drying winter winds.
Plant in well-drained soil of any organically rich medium for best results and apply a layer of mulch over the root for insulation and moisture retention.
Requiring minimal shearing to retain their naturally rounded shape, Globe Arborvitae are low-maintenance, easy-care landscape workhorses!
First Editions® Technito® Globe Arborvitae will be a fantastic addition to your landscape this year so give the experts at Nature Hills a call to order today!
