Make sure your trees are measured from the ground up!
While this may sound a bit sneaky, the sad truth is some nurseries try to make their trees seem taller by including the roots in the height. Even worse, others will charge you for a large tree but then hack them down to save money on shipping.
We sell our trees with the height measured from the base up. You can be assured when you buy a tree from Nature Hills Nursery, it will be the height you paid for after you plant it.
We take pride in delivering the highest quality plants with healthy roots and full, well-established stems and foliage. And, you can buy in confidence with our one year plant guarantee.
Our fruit trees are always in high demand. Quantities are limited and many will sell out soon. Order now to avoid disappointment!
