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.

Make the holiday season beautiful now with a handsome Black Hills Spruce live decoration. Plant it after the Holidays to make your garden spectacular later!
The Black Hills Spruce (native to South Dakota) is a healthy native tree that will make your holiday table, guest room, or front porch sparkle this season. As a bonus, this living tree is super easy to plant and will live on in your landscape as a classic evergreen that will make your garden sparkle for years to come.
Don't spend money on a 'fresh-cut' tree that was cut down months ago from somewhere far away and then put in cold storage until it could reach you. Instead, buy a beautiful and easy-care living Black Hills Spruce Tabletop tree from Nature Hills.
This sweet little tree is a hostess's dream and a favorite secret Santa gift. It comes planted in a one-quart container ready to slip into a decorative container and adorn with your favorite ornaments. The needles are a fresh blue/green and show off your holiday style with classic good looks. There's also no messy needle clean-up since this is a live tree!
All you need to make this little guy happy are some sunlight and water. Keep the soil moist, but don't overwater or let it sit in water. Take it to the sink and water it, then let the excess water just run down the drain.
When you are ready this beautiful spruce will transplant into your yard or garden with ease. When this tree is fully grown it is one of the most striking of all the spruce trees with its elegant pyramidal shape and year-round evergreen color.
Don't be naughty. Buy some for yourself and some to give as gifts. Santa is watching!
