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.

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.

    Early Spring

The National Audubon Society presents a new line of native plants and trees that helps birds and wildlife thrive in your area! Known as the Southern Hackberry, the Audubon® Native Sugarberry Tree (Celtis laevigata) is a hardy native Elm tree relative, with no worry about Dutch Elm disease! Also known sometimes as the Sugar Hackberry.

A tough shade tree that tolerates wind and storms, they’re great street trees or lawn specimens with few issues! Early spring brings green flowers for pollinators and early fall offers sweet and nutritious reddish-brown fruit for birds! The abundant fleshy berry-like drupes mature to deep purple and are edible by people too.

The broad, rounded, open crown of spreading or slightly drooping branches. Yellow fall color and twiggy branches make choice nesting sites for tree-dwellers. The mature gray bark develops the Hackberry’s well-known warty texture.

Planting and Application:

Sugarberry Trees are ideal shade trees and street trees! Also, fantastic lawn and specimen trees the broad limbs provide habitat and wildlife nesting, while shading your home. Reduce cooling costs by planting one of these trees to block the sun beating on your home!

Benefits and attracts Thrushes, Mockingbirds, Waxwings, Orioles, Cardinals, Turkeys, Grouse, Quail, Ducks, & Pheasants, while providing insect food and shelter for many more! Even people can snack on the date-like fruit, however, these are best left for your birds because of the large seeds. The leaves feed Mourning Cloak, Question Mark, Hackberry Emperor, Comma, Snout and Tawny Emperor butterflies!

  • Caterpillar Host Plant & Pollinator Friendly
  • Huge Wildlife & Bird Food, Nesting & Shelter
  • Shade or Street Tree
  • Tolerates Southern Heat & Humidity

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Sugarberry trees do best in growing zones 6-9 and are adaptable to most well-drained soils. Once established, they tolerate dry and rocky soil, occasionally soggy soil and urban pollution.

  • Full Sun & Part Shade
  • Prune in Early Spring
  • Tolerates Clay Soil, Occasional Wet Soil, Air Pollution
  • Grows Well In Pots When Young
  • Mulch New Trees

The heat and humidity tolerant Audubon® Native Sugarberry Tree is a fantastic native shade and tree that is also a boon for wildlife, birds and pollinators! Order yours today before they’re gone at NatureHills.com!
