Plant Sentry™

Plant Sentry is designed to protect both consumers and the nursery trade from invasive plant pests and diseases. Sites that display the Plant Sentry protection badge are protected from consumers buying and nurseries shipping material carrying invasive pests and diseases.

This proprietary eCommerce software prevents the shipment of a restricted plant to each state. The Plant Sentry system includes a shipment certification program. The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

Delivery and Shipping

Shipping

To obtain a more accurate shipment time-frame, simply enter your zip code in the “Find Your Growing Zone” box to the right. Our plants are grown all over the country and lead time on items may be different because of this. Once your order is placed, you will also receive the specific shipment time-frame information as part of your order confirmation. Once an item ships, you will receive shipment notification and tracking numbers, so you can follow along while your plant travels to your doorstep. We use FedEx, UPS, or USPS at our discretion.

 

Due to winter weather we have put a hold on shipping to the areas shown below in grey. You can still order now and we will ship the plant to you during an appropriate time for your zone.

*If you have found your zone already, it will be highlighted in the table below.

If you are lucky enough to live in a climate that is favorable to Pecan Trees, you will for sure want to add a Candy Pecan Tree (Carya illinoinensis 'Candy') to your landscape this year! Perhaps you've been concerned that Pecans would be too much work, take too much time, or not add any value to your home. Candy will change your way of thinking!

It is beautiful in the summer providing great shade as it matures! The small leaves give it a well-tended appearance the whole season. The nuts ripen early in the fall, sometimes as early as October. One of the special things about Candy, though, is that it doesn't take years of maturity for it to produce nuts for you. These trees have been known to start producing as soon as they reach 8 feet tall!

This is a Type II Pecan and needs a Type I like the the Desirable Pecan for the best possible pollination and yield. Candy is a reliable producer of loads of Papershell nuts that are easy to crack and give you perfect halves. They are favorites because they produce such high-quality nuts year after year with reliability and consistency! Hardy throughout USDA growing zones 6 to 9, Candy grows 50 - 70 feet tall and 50 feet wide at maturity.

Planting and Application:

Shade trees are always home value-boosting additions! Save on cooling bills and lawn watering with trees that reduce evaporation and shade your home and garden beds. Long-lived, you'll have little work to put into it while getting back so much more! Fantastic windbreaks and shelterbelts for wildlife are called to these trees in droves for their shelter and food sources.

You'll love the edible landscaping possibilities these lovely nut trees provide! Create nut groves or food-sustainable orchards in your backyard by grouping Candy with other Pecans to maximize yield.

The nuts are smaller than most, but pack a wallop of pecan flavor! They are great to eat fresh, but spectacular when you use them in cooking or candies. They make a fruit cake worthwhile and pecan pie divine!

  • Magnificent Shade Tree
  • Flavorful Nuts & Easy to Remove Halves
  • Type II Pecan Needs Type I Pollinator
  • Produces Early & Reliably
  • Loads of Papershell Nuts
  • Candy, Baking & Healthy Snacking

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Candy is an easy tree to plant and care for and is very resistant to common Pecan Tree diseases. Plant in a well-drained location in full sun for the biggest harvest and best growth. Water well to establish, afterwards, these trees rarely need supplemental water. Occasional fertilizing only and pruning is needed early on when training young trees. Situate your tree in the right location for years of enjoyment with a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch that greatly benefits the root system through heat, chill, and drought.

  • Full Sun
  • Disease Resistant
  • Water Enough To Establish
  • Mulch Large Root System Well
  • Prune When Dormant
