24" Box Trees
Heavy Landscape Size
More Than a Bigger Plant. You’re Buying Time.
A 24" box tree is not simply a larger plant. You are buying years of growth.
The tree already has established roots, trunk structure, and canopy, so privacy, shade, and landscape impact start much sooner.
For customers who want a more finished landscape without waiting years, 24" box is one of the most practical large nursery sizes.
What Does 24" Box Mean?
The 24 inches refers to the nursery container, not the height of the tree. A typical container is about 24" × 24" × 21–22" deep.
Actual tree size varies greatly by species and growing habit.
- Citrus and compact fruit trees are often shorter.
- Olive and broadleaf trees may have wider canopies.
- Deciduous and upright trees can be much taller.

A practical size when you want a more finished landscape without waiting years.Planting a 24" Box Tree
A 24" box tree normally needs a planting hole wider than the container.
The final planting depth depends on the root ball and site conditions. The upper root area should normally finish at or slightly above the surrounding grade.
Frequently Asked Questions
How tall is a 24" box tree?
There is no standard height. Species, cultivar, pruning, and growing conditions all affect the final height and canopy size. Contact us for current measurements of the specific tree you are considering.
How much does a 24" box tree weigh?
A 24" box tree commonly weighs several hundred pounds. A practical planning range is about 175–300 lb, depending on the species, soil, moisture level, and container construction.
What is the difference between a 24" box and a 24-gallon tree?
Nursery suppliers sometimes use “24" box” and “24 gallon” for similar large-size stock. Container naming is not perfectly standardized between growers, so the actual container dimensions and plant measurements are more useful than the label alone.
Can I keep a 24" box tree in a container permanently?
Yes. Many trees can remain container-grown long term if the container is large enough and the tree receives proper watering, drainage, nutrition, and periodic root or canopy management.
The original nursery box is mainly intended for growing and transport. For long-term container use, we recommend moving the tree into a durable planter with enough room for future root growth.
Can one person move a 24" box tree?
Usually not by lifting it directly. Depending on the tree and site, one person may be able to reposition it with equipment such as a heavy-duty hand truck, nursery cart, pallet jack, or similar moving equipment.
Do you provide planting?
Planting availability depends on the location, access, tree size, and project requirements. Contact us with your ZIP code and site photos so we can review the options.
