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.

Savvy gardeners are using native shrubs like Black Chokeberry Bush (Aronia melanocarpa var. elata) as part of a big design trend in gardening! And it is no hardship to include a compact variety that looks great all growing season!

Black Chokeberry delivers a lot of ornamental charm. In spring, you'll enjoy the beautiful, white 5-petaled flowers with a subtle pink highlight. Watch as they transform into green berries, to red, to purple and finish black! Each healthy berry is similar to a small blueberry and can be added to smoothies, jams, jellies and sauces. Just add honey or sweetener to your recipes. It's not nicknamed Chokeberry for nothing!

Aronia berries are well on their way to becoming the new must-have superfood. The fruit production from each plant can be up as much as 30 or 40 pounds on each plant, packed with powerful antioxidants over 400% higher than blueberries!

Planting and Application:

Brighten up the shady areas of your landscape with this dainty, easy-care shrub. The summer leaves are lustrous and catch the light. In fall, enjoy the deep, rich color of the foliage; alight with red, orange and purple tones for a brilliant display. Hedges can also be used as snow fencing, privacy and shelterbelts. Just give about 4 feet from the concrete to reach their full, natural spread.

Add them to the edge of woodlands, or place them in back of Butterfly Gardens. Repeat along the length of your mixed borders. This is a wonderful native plant that provides shelter and food for many bird species, especially when food is scarce.

  • Darling Flowers in Spring
  • Lustrous Green Summer Foliage
  • Gorgeous Red, Purple & Orange Foliage in Fall
  • Very Healthy, Edible Fruit in Fall - 30 - 40lbs Per Shrub!
  • Attracts Pollinators & Supports Song & Game Birds

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Black Chokeberry is found in low-lying wooded areas and has a very adaptable nature. Grow it in wet or acidic soils, in full sun, partial sun or shade. It even tolerates road salt, so can be incorporated into street plantings. You'll see fewer berries in shade.

  • Full Sun, Partial Shade or Shade!
  • Moist to Damp Well-Drained Soil - Tolerates Road Salt
  • Low Maintenance, Deer & Drought Tolerant
  • Prune Late Winter/Early Spring
  • Mulch Root System Well

We are big fans of Chokeberry shrubs here at Nature Hills. They are wonderful accent shrubs that can be used in almost any yard. Order today!
