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.

We’re proud to introduce the National Audubon Society line of native trees that have been selected to help birds and wildlife in your area! One amazing wildlife tree is the Audubon® Native American Plum Tree (Prunus americana) also known as the Native Plum, Hedge Plum, Sloe or Wild Plum! Grow these deciduous fruits as single trunk trees or multi-stemmed shrubs to suit your needs.

The white flush of spring flowers provides nectar and pollen to local bees and butterflies. Followed close behind are toothy leaves all summer and in autumn, turn yellow to red for great fall color. The dense, twiggy growth is ideal for low-canopy-nesting birds, such as Mockingbirds, Vireos, Brown Thrashers, Cardinals, Mourning Doves, and Sparrows.

Early season 1-inch, sweet-tart fruit with yellow-flesh and red-skin are enjoyed by you and wildlife! Feeding Grouse, Jays, Quail, and Foxes. Usually grown for ornamental value and not fruit, they can be used in jams, jellies and baked goods! However, if you leave them, you’ll enjoy watching wildlife flock to your garden.

Planting and Application:

American Plum can be grown as either a tree or shrub. Plus suckering freely, they can form large colonies and thickets ideal as hedgerows, screening, privacy and shelterbelts! With a little pruning, you can fashion your Plum however you need! Flowering Ornamental Plums are as lovely as specimens as they are native plantings.

Several butterflies and dozens of moths use this tree as a Host Plant for their larvae, including the Coral Hairstreak, Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, Red Spotted Purple, and Striped Hairstreaks and more! Fantastic Wildlife and Bird Shrubs that use these larvae to their hungry chicks!

  • White Fragrant Spring Blooms & Fall Display
  • Small & Plentiful - Sweet-Tart Red Skinned & Yellow Flesh
  • Tasty Fruit for You & Wildlife!
  • Wildlife, Backyard Birds & Pollinators
  • Shrub-Form, Tree-Form & Thickets

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Wild Plums grow in zones 4-8 and in full sun. Also doing well in partial shade, but you’ll enjoy fewer flowers and fruit. With its fast growth rate, hardiness, adaptability to a variety of climates and soil conditions and is drought-tolerant once established.

  • Full Sun & Partial Shade
  • Adaptable to Most Soils
  • Hardy Native - Low Maintenance
  • Mulch Well to Insulate & Retain Moisture
