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:
Plant Oak Trees in full sun with at least six hours of light a day. Provide an even schedule of supplemental water to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free. Provide regular deep waterings to establish a deep root system, making established trees drought tolerant. We highly recommend that you add a three-inch layer of mulch and spread it out to several feet past the canopy; pulling it back from touching the trunk. Prune your Oak in late winter to remove broken or wayward branches. Luckily, Streetspire® Oak features great genetics and should rarely need much corrective action.
- Need Full Sun
