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.

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.

A Plum That Lives Up to Its Name

Prunus salicina 'All Red' is exactly what it sounds like: a Japanese plum where the vibrant color runs all the way through. The deep, glossy red skin gives way to sweet, richly flavored red flesh underneath, making it one of the most visually striking fruit trees you can grow in a home orchard or backyard landscape. Harvest time runs mid to late summer, typically July into August depending on your climate, and the fruit delivers the kind of full, sweet-tart plum flavor that grocery store varieties rarely manage.

Spring Beauty Before the Fruit

Long before the plums arrive, the All Red gives you one of spring's best displays. Fragrant white blossoms cover every branch in early spring, drawing in bees and early pollinators before most other trees have even leafed out. The show lasts a couple of weeks and transitions seamlessly into bright green foliage that holds through summer. Come fall, the leaves shift into warm amber and red tones before dropping, giving this tree genuine four-season appeal well beyond its role as a fruit producer.

Versatile and Productive

The All Red Plum is partially self-fertile, meaning it can set a light crop on its own. However, planting a second Japanese plum variety nearby, such as Methley, AU Cherry, or Ozark Premier, will dramatically increase fruit set and the size of your harvest. The two trees don't need to be right next to each other, just within reasonable pollinator range, roughly 50 feet or so.

Mature trees reach 15 to 20 feet tall with a similar spread, making them a great fit for home orchards, larger suburban yards, or anywhere you want a productive tree that also looks good. Fruit typically begins appearing within two to four years of planting a grafted tree.

What to Do with the Harvest

Tree-ripened All Red plums eaten fresh are in a different category from anything you'll find at a store. But the crop is often generous enough to go well beyond fresh eating. The firm red flesh holds up beautifully in preserves, jams, and jellies, and the deep color gives homemade jam a gorgeous ruby hue. These plums are also excellent baked into cobblers, galettes, and tarts, and their slight tartness balances well in savory sauces for pork or poultry.

Bringing It Home

Whether you're starting a home orchard or adding a single productive accent tree to your yard, the All Red Japanese Plum rewards you with ornamental beauty in spring and a reliable, flavorful harvest in summer. Plant it in full sun, give it room to grow, and it will produce for 15 to 25 years with basic annual care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are All Red Japanese Plum trees deer resistant?

Japanese plum trees, including All Red, are not deer resistant and are actually quite appealing to deer who will browse both the foliage and fruit. Deer find plum trees particularly attractive during spring when tender new growth emerges and again during harvest time in July-August. Protect your tree with fencing or deer repellent if deer are common in your area.

What other fruit trees or plants pair well with the All Red Japanese Plum?

Plant other Japanese plums like Methley, AU Cherry, or Ozark Premier within 50 feet to boost fruit production. The All Red is only partially self-fertile, so cross-pollination dramatically increases your harvest. Shop compatible varieties at naturehills.com to maximize your plum yield.

Does this plum tree need a pollinator to produce fruit?

The All Red Japanese Plum is partially self-fertile and can produce a light crop on its own. For dramatically better fruit set and larger harvests, plant a second Japanese plum variety like Methley, AU Cherry, or Ozark Premier within 50 feet.

What kind of pruning does this plum tree require and when should I prune it?

Prune All Red plums in late winter while dormant, focusing on removing dead, crossing, or crowded branches to maintain good air circulation. Light annual pruning works best since these trees naturally develop a nice shape reaching 15-20 feet. Shop at Nature Hills for healthy grafted trees.
