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.

Fruit trees can feel like a huge commitment, especially if you're a home gardener with limited space. If you would like to grow an established, disease-resistant peach that thrives in colder zones, then the Redhaven Peach Tree (Prunus persica 'Redhaven') is one of the best varieties for colder regions and home growers!

A reliable producer, it was developed in western Michigan during the Great Depression and has been one of the most popular varieties since!

If you have a possibility of late frost, the Redhaven Peach is an excellent choice. Its blooms are a beautiful pink and very fragrant, but they appear later to avoid the damage caused by a late frost.

The handsome pyramidal shape and vibrant green foliage turns a glorious golden-yellow in autumn and the fantastic shape makes it a valuable ornamental addition to your landscape!

This dark yellow fruit has a prominent red blush. It’s a firm-textured, freestone peach variety that bursts with juice and flavor when you bite into the yellow flesh. It’s delicious fresh from the tree, but you probably can't eat them as quickly as your tree will produce them, so plan on canning or freezing the ones that you can't eat or put into pies or cobbler.

Redhaven ripens in mid-summer and is a hardy, rapid grower, sometimes producing a crop the second year. This variety is a heavy-bearing, dependable producer, so get ready to enjoy your bumper crop!

How to Use Redhaven Peach Tree In The Landscape

As fall approaches, get ready to enjoy the fruit of your spring and summer labor. You will enjoy the dependable crop of sweet, juicy peaches. Use them fresh-picked, baked or canned! But save enough so you can send some to family and friends because they ship well, too!

If you're looking for a shady haven to sit beneath and enjoy fresh peaches, you’re in luck! Plant Redhaven near your seating or patio areas for lush shade that is dripping with fragrant blooms and juicy snacks!

A beautiful tree to plant front and center in your front landscaping, anchor a side garden or even provide shade and privacy, Redhaven is modestly sized to fit into any garden. Easily tucked into an existing home landscape or orchard of all sizes!

While this variety self-pollinates, planting two trees, or with another Peach variety, will increase your yield. The bees, butterflies and hummingbirds will thank you all spring. No room for two trees? Try this high-density planting technique, plus more pruning tips, tricks and Peach Tree Care in our Garden Blog!

#ProPlantTips For Care

When planting Peach Trees, place them where it will get sun most of the day. A full sun location, favoring morning sun, where it can receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight. Hardy in USDA hardiness zones 5-9, these are especially cold-tolerant!

Its roots like soil that ranges from loamy or sandy and is tolerant of slightly acidic soil, but it needs to be well-drained soil. While not particular on soil type, any enriched site is best, so add some extra composted manure and organic matter to the site.

Water weekly, maybe more during hot and dry weather. This way you’ll have a bountiful and juicy crop! A generous layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill throughout all growing seasons.

For best results, fertilize your tree regularly with Dr. Earth Fruit Tree Fertilizer or a good organic, slow-release fertilizer. Add Nature Hills Root Booster while planting for a life-long symbiotic relationship with the tiny feeder roots.

Prune to manage the size and keep an open crown for air circulation and allow sunlight to reach the interior.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Redhaven Peach Tree grow well in my USDA zone (e.g., zone 5, 7A, or 9)?

The Redhaven Peach Tree thrives in colder zones and was specifically developed in western Michigan for cold climate growing. It requires 800-900 chill hours and features late-season blooms that help avoid frost damage. Check that your zone provides adequate chill hours and plant in full sun for best fruit production.

Is the Redhaven Peach Tree self-pollinating, or do I need another tree for pollination?

The Redhaven Peach Tree is self-fruitful, meaning it doesn't require another peach tree for pollination. This reliable variety can produce fruit on its own, making it perfect for home gardeners with limited space. Plant just one tree and expect heavy mid-summer harvests available at naturehills.com.

How much sun does the Redhaven Peach Tree require?

Redhaven Peach Trees need full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal fruit production. This variety thrives in colder zones and produces its fragrant pink blooms later in the season. Plant in the sunniest spot in your yard for the heaviest mid-summer harvest.

When and how should I prune the Redhaven Peach Tree?

Prune Redhaven Peach Trees in late winter while dormant, before buds break. Remove dead, diseased, and crossing branches first, then thin crowded areas to improve air circulation. Focus on maintaining the tree's natural pyramidal shape while opening the center for sunlight penetration.

Is the Redhaven Peach Tree disease-resistant, especially to leaf spot?

The Redhaven Peach Tree is notably disease-resistant and was specifically developed to thrive in colder zones. Its late-season bloom helps avoid frost damage, and its vigorous growth makes it reliable for home growers. Shop at Nature Hills for this proven variety that's performed well since the 1930s.

What is the best way to plant a bare-root Redhaven Peach Tree (hole size, spacing)?

Dig a hole twice as wide as the root system but no deeper than the root ball. Space Redhaven peach trees 15-20 feet apart to allow for their vigorous growth and heavy fruit production. Plant in early spring after the last frost, ensuring the graft union sits 2-3 inches above soil level.

How is the Redhaven Peach Tree shipped (bare-root, timing, costs)?

Redhaven Peach Trees are typically shipped bare-root during dormant season (late winter/early spring). This allows for better root establishment before the growing season begins. Plant immediately upon arrival or heel in temporarily if soil conditions aren't ideal.
