• Entry Size Trees:  These trees, measured from the top of the root ball, are 12"-24" tall. Approximately 1 year old.
• Primo Size Trees: Tree height ranges from 18"-36" tall and the trees are grown in a 5"x5"x12" tree pot and are 2-3 years old. Primo Size trees have been grown to maximize their success and meet the demand of our growers. We grow primo size trees until they reach heights of 18”-36” tall and will ship in a new compact box.  Primo Size trees are pruned with intention to get you a beautifully developed canopy with proper branching starting at or above the 18” mark.
• Within a month of delivery, we suggest repotting into a larger (10-12" diameter) container.
  
• Premium Size Trees: These trees are roughly 4 years old and 3 to 4 feet tall, come in a #5 container. They are well-developed, with a strong canopy and healthy branches, making them ready for immediate impact in your garden.
