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.

About Montrose Charm White Spruce

A Slim, Cold-Hardy Spruce Built for Smaller Spaces

Picea glauca 'Montrose Charm' is the kind of evergreen that earns its place in the landscape quickly. Where a standard white spruce eventually spreads wide enough to swallow a fence line, Montrose Charm holds to a narrow, columnar silhouette that fits between driveways, along property lines, and in corners where most full-sized trees simply do not belong. It grows fast for a spruce, pushing 12 inches or more per year under good conditions, so you are not waiting a decade to see results.

Key Features

Soft Texture, Strong Presence

What sets Montrose Charm apart from other upright spruces is the quality of its needles. They run shorter and finer than typical white spruce, and they carry a soft, slightly fuzzy quality that gives the tree a more refined look up close. The color reads as a clean blue-green through most of the year, catching light in a way that makes the tree feel almost luminous on a gray winter day. The dense branching holds that color from top to bottom, so there are no bare lower limbs or ragged gaps even as the tree matures.

Landscape Uses

Landscape Versatility

Montrose Charm works as a single specimen anchoring a corner of the yard, but it really earns its keep planted in a staggered row. Space trees eight to ten feet apart and within a few seasons you have a living privacy screen or windbreak that blocks sight lines, buffers road noise, and provides year-round structure. Its narrow profile means it takes up far less ground space than a traditional spruce hedge while delivering similar density.

Makes a striking seasonal container plant while young
Can serve as a living Christmas tree that gets planted out after the holidays

Growing Requirements

Built for Northern Climates

As a cultivar of the native North American white spruce, Montrose Charm is naturally adapted to cold, harsh winters.

Rated hardy through zone 3, handles temperatures well below zero without dieback or winter burn
Tolerates a range of soils and handles urban conditions reasonably well
Does not require babying once established
Deer tend to leave it alone, which is a practical benefit in areas where browsing pressure is high

A Tree That Earns Its Keep Year-Round

Unlike flowering trees or deciduous shrubs that give you a season of interest and then fade into the background, Montrose Charm is working every month of the year.

The blue-green needles bring color to a snow-covered yard in January
The dense canopy provides shelter for songbirds in early spring
The narrow, architectural form gives the landscape structure and vertical scale that no perennial or shrub bed can replicate

This compact evergreen also fits well among our drought tolerant options once established.

Where to Plant

Sunlight: Montrose Charm performs best in full sun, meaning at least six hours of direct light per day. It tolerates partial shade but may develop a less dense, more open habit with fewer hours of direct sun.

Soil: Adaptable to most well-drained soils, including sandy loam, clay-amended beds, and slightly acidic ground with a pH of 5.0 to 6.5. Avoid poorly drained or consistently waterlogged areas, as standing water around the roots is the fastest way to stress or kill an established spruce. If planting in heavy clay, work in coarse grit or compost to open up the soil structure before planting.

Watering Requirements

Water deeply once or twice per week during the first growing season to help the root system establish in its new location. After the first year, Montrose Charm is moderately drought tolerant and typically gets by on rainfall alone except during extended dry spells in summer. When the top two inches of soil are dry, give it a deep soak rather than frequent shallow watering, which encourages surface roots that are vulnerable to heat stress.

Pruning Tips

Montrose Charm generally maintains its tidy columnar shape without any pruning. If you want to encourage denser branching or keep the size in check, lightly trim new growth tips in late spring after the candles have elongated but before the needles fully harden off. Avoid cutting back into old wood with no needles, as spruce does not regenerate from bare stems the way broadleaf shrubs do.

Fertilizer Needs

Feed once in early spring with a slow-release fertilizer formulated for evergreens or acid-loving plants, following package rates for the tree's size. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers that push rapid, weak new growth late in the season, as that soft tissue is more vulnerable to winter damage. A light top-dressing of acidic compost around the drip line each spring also supports healthy, steady growth without overfeeding.
