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.

Early Spring Blooming Airy Tree

The May Day Tree, Prunus padus 'European Bird Cherry', is one of the first trees to leaf out in spring. Also known as the European Bird Cherry, it is generally described as a perennial tree or shrub and has dark-green summer foliage that turns yellow to red in fall.

The white flowers are large and fragrant and appear in early May. They are borne in slender drooping clusters. It differs from other wild and garden cherries in having flowers in long cylindrical spikes.

The fruit is black, about 1/3" or less, and is loved by the birds. This low-branched tree is rounded and provides cover as well as small-fruited cherries that will attract your feathered friends from all around.

May Day Tree is available in clump form but can be pruned to a small tree. The European Bird Cherry has a moderate life span relative to most other plant species and a moderate growth rate.
