Sizing Guide

Container Sizing

Plants sold in nursery pots (also called “containers”) are required to be sold based on the volume of their roots and soil, not just the size of the pot or the plant’s height. This standard helps ensure consistency and accuracy across the industry.

Want to learn more about how container sizing works and see helpful size conversions? Check out our full Sizing Guide page.

Balled & Burlap (B&B) Sizing

Balled & burlap (B&B) trees are sized in two common ways: caliper or height.

Caliper refers to the diameter of the tree trunk measured 6 inches above the soil line for smaller trees, and 12 inches above the soil line for larger trees. It’s a key indicator of the tree’s maturity and overall strength.

Some trees are also sold by height, which measures from the base of the trunk to the top of the canopy.

I have been to a lot of places for flowers and plants but this one truly stands out above the rest. Very helpful people that aren't pushy. Got what we needed and the whole experience was great. Kudos to the staff in here.

Had a great experience and learned a lot from both Doc and Rachel this past weekend. Could not have guessed that we would learn so much going in, but thankful for their guidance and deep expertise. Will be completing our next project with Fossil Creek Nursery!

Dan the man! We’ve been thoroughly impressed with the service at Fossil Creek. Super helpful in helping us select the right trees and shrubs for our yard and providing info for helping take care of them.

Staff are extremely knowledgeable about plants, landscaping, and growing conditions in our area. If they do not know an answer they quickly refer to the staff member with expertise. Fossil Creek has a large inventory of shrubs & trees.

I know absolutely NOTHING about plants, and when I went there the other day, Dan, a gentleman that works there helped me with everything. He is incredibly respectful, knowledgeable, patient, and helped find plants that I liked and that would look best in my yard. Also, he respected the budget that I had and stuck to it!

I decided to check out this nursery just the other week. Upon arrival everything was beautiful but I felt a little overwhelmed and lost. I went into the store and was offered a full on tour by a lovely staff member named Melissa. She was very pleasant and informative and really took the time to show me around and answer every question I had. The selection was vast and the plants and trees looked super healthy. The entire staff was friendly and happy to assist in any way including help load the car. I’ll definitely be back to support this business and continue my gardening adventures!
