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.

Young Plants (6 months to 18 months old)

Container Size	Actual Volume	Metric Equivalent
2" x 2" x 3"	0.18 - 0.21 dry quarts	0.20 - 0.23 dry liters
4" Container	0.31 - 0.87 dry quarts	0.35 - 0.96 dry liters
4.5" Container	0.65 dry quarts	0.72 dry liters
6" Container	1.4 dry quarts	1.59 dry liters
1 Quart	1 dry quart	1.1 dry liters
5.5" Container	1.89 dry quarts	2.08 dry liters

Established Plants (18 months to 2.5 years old)

Container Size	Actual Volume	Metric Equivalent
2 Quart	2 dry quarts	2.2 dry liters

Important Notes

Container Volume Specifications

Trade Gallon Standard: Our containers follow industry-standard "trade gallon" specifications established by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI Z60.1) for nursery stock
Volume Variations: Actual soil volume may vary due to plant root systems and growing medium settlement
Age Indicators: Container size primarily indicates plant age and maturity rather than liquid volume equivalents

Growing Conditions

Plant size can vary based on variety and growing conditions
Container size helps indicate plant maturity and establishment level
Larger containers generally mean more established root systems and faster landscape establishment

Seasonal Availability

Bare root plants are available seasonally when dormant
Container plants are available throughout the growing season
Specific varieties may have limited availability in certain sizes

Planting & Care Instructions

Where to Plant

Sunlight: Apply this wrap to trees in areas receiving direct southern or western sun exposure. This protection is most critical during winter months when "sunscald" occurs due to rapid temperature fluctuations on the trunk.
Soil: While the wrap itself does not interact with soil, ensure the bottom edge is tucked just slightly above the soil line. If you bury the wrap in heavy clay or mulch, it can trap excessive moisture against the bark and lead to fungal rot.

Watering Requirements

Continue your standard watering schedule for the tree based on its species and age. However, check under the wrap periodically to ensure the bark is not staying perpetually damp after heavy rains. If the wrap becomes saturated and does not dry out, it can create a humid environment that invites pests or disease.

Pruning Tips

You should remove the tree wrap in the early spring once the threat of the final hard freeze has passed. Leaving the wrap on during the growing season is like wearing a winter coat in July; it restricts the natural expansion of the trunk and can girdle the tree. Reapply a fresh layer each autumn to provide consistent protection as the tree matures.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release fertilizer to the base of the tree in early spring after the wrap has been removed. Avoid high nitrogen fertilizers in late summer or autumn because they encourage soft, new growth that is highly susceptible to winter kill. Keeping the tree nourished ensures the bark remains thick and resilient under the protective wrap.

Trees are beautiful, but they need protection from scorching, trimmer and mower damage, and girdling. DeWitt Tree Wrap offers better tree protection than any other tree wrap on the market today. This Tree Wrap is made of polypropylene fabric and easily conforms to fit any tree shape or bark texture. It will last for years and slowly photodegrade to prevent girdling of the tree’s trunk or roots. DeWitt Tree Wrap is approved by leading universities and horticulturalists and can be found in our Tree Starter Kits
