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

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Versatile Weeping White Spruce grows in full sun and part shade. Give it well-drained soil and include Nature Hills Root Booster while planting for life-long results. A super hardy plant that will thrive in the cold winters but does appreciate a protected location from drying icy northern winds. Give these trees regular water throughout their first growing seasons in the ground and a long drink before winter so the needles do not go into winter dry. Keep your tree stress-free by adding a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch to support root growth for the life of the plant. Prune only minimally in the spring if necessary.
- Grows in Full Sun or Partial Shade
- Moderate Moisture Needs
- Well-Drained Soils
- Rarely Needs Spring Pruning
- Seldom Damaged by Deer
