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.

The Regent Saskatoon Serviceberry (Amelanchier alnifolia 'Regent') is an early-flowering, ornamental shrub. This gently mounded deciduous form can be trained as a multi-branched tree-form, is hardy and tolerant of many conditions! The green foliage turns shades of yellow and burgundy in the fall, for an added bonus in addition to the plant's other stellar features.

This Serviceberry cultivar tends to flower early in the spring with ¾ inch, 5-petaled white flowers. These fragrant little blooms grow in clusters before the leaves appear, and are so numerous that they are sure to have a dazzling effect upon the appearance of your spring yard. Butterflies and early emerging bees fully appreciate and take advantage of the nectar and pollen resource, providing a meal for them and encouragement to stay and pollinate your other plants!

After the flowers of your Regent Serviceberry have faded, small green berries will appear, eventually turning a dark blue in June when they're ready to eat, giving them the other common name June Berry. They look similar to blueberries, and taste just as good. Some say the flavor has a slightly nutty taste. It's best to cook these berries and juice them, discarding the small seeds. Once processed, you can make incredible preserves, syrup and juice! Keep whole and bake the berries in shortbread, muffins, or other baked goods.

Planting and Application:

It would look terrific as a shrub border or planted in front of a dark backdrop to highlight the Serviceberry's colors. Set off spring and fall with the beautiful colors these shrubby trees provide! Anchor your home's foundation or shade a small section of your garden with dappled shade. Pollinator gardens and backyard seating areas light up with these airy trees! You'll love these ornamental flowering fall color trees for your edible landscape!

Serviceberries are often used in preserves and in pies, and if you don't use them, the birds will love them! Group or cluster in odd numbers for bird-friendly habitat, shelter and food sources in naturalized plantings near your back property. Suckering freely when allowed, these form groves readily. Or use closely planted rows of other Serviceberry or in a mixed-tree planting for light screening and privacy that neighbors won't mind! These easy care trees are highly adaptable and versatile, so much so that they're often a go-to choice for commercial plantings and landscaping!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Plant in full sun for the most flowers and fruit. Tolerant of a wide range of soil, provide moderate, consistent moisture at first, then these trees are adaptable and drought tolerant once established. Mulch the root system well for insulation and moisture retention, and to conceal any of the dropped berries that may stain pavement or grass for a short period each summer.

Moist to Average Well-Drained Soil
Prune Late Winter & Early Spring
Fire Blight, Powdery Mildew & Drought Resistant Once Established
Bird & Pollinator Friendly

The Serviceberry has traditionally had many uses. Native Americans used to make pemmican and soups from the Serviceberry to supplement their daily diets. The plant was thought to have medicinal properties, and it was also used as a dye. Whatever uses you value in your Regent Saskatoon Serviceberry, it's sure to deliver.

Fruitful

Planted two of these just a couple of years ago in CT. They began producing berries after 1 year. Now, about 5 feet tall, and producing lots of tasty berries, beautiful blossoms in Spring and foliage in Fall. All they need is pruning to shape them to your preference. What more can you ask for?

Hi Nick,

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with your berries! It’s fantastic to hear that they adapted well and are producing so beautifully in just a couple of years. Your tip about routine pruning for shaping is spot-on—pruning not only helps maintain a pleasing form but also encourages healthy growth and more abundant fruit in the following seasons.

Fast producing

Purchased (3) #3 containers in May and planted on the 12th (SE Michigan). Tilled soil 8", amended with manure compost, re-tilled to mix and panted as directed. Within a week berries forming. Purchased a cpl more and planted 3rd week of May, by late June mature fruit galore, Cardinals very happy and needless to say I would pick and eat raw, what a great taste. Unfortunately won't last long as birds gobble em up.

Hi Ron,

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with the Regent Saskatoon Serviceberry! It’s fantastic to hear that your careful soil preparation and timely planting resulted in such a bountiful harvest so quickly. It’s always rewarding when our feathered friends like the Cardinals enjoy the fruit just as much as we do—or even more!

To help you possibly extend the enjoyment, you might consider installing lightweight bird netting to protect some of the berries while still allowing sun and airflow, so you and your family can savor a few before the birds get to them. Also, regular watering during dry spells can help maintain vigorous fruit production next season.

If you ever have questions about pest or wildlife management, or want tips on companion planting that can help deter hungry birds, feel free to reach out. We’re delighted to support your gardening efforts in SE Michigan and beyond!

Fast producing

Dear Ron,

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with the Regent Saskatoon Serviceberry! We're thrilled to hear how quickly your plants are producing fruit and that both you and your backyard cardinals are enjoying the bounty. Your detailed planting process—tilling soil deeply and amending with manure compost—truly set the stage for such success. It’s always rewarding to know our customers are having such positive results.

Since you mentioned the birds are enthusiastically harvesting your berries, you might consider lightweight netting during peak ripening to protect some of the fruits for yourself while still keeping those feathery friends happy elsewhere. Also, gently shaking the bushes slightly in the early morning can encourage earlier ripening, helping you get a taste before the birds do!

Thanks again for trusting Nature Hills for your planting needs—we look forward to hearing more updates from your garden in the years ahead.
