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.

  • Narrow, Upright Shape

Who doesn't love a beautiful and easy-to-care-for tree? The Frans Fontaine Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus 'Frans Fontaine') loves being the center of attention in landscaping and wants you to just kick back and enjoy its beauty.

Frans Fontaine Columnar Hornbeam has an upright, narrow shape with dark, forest green foliage that has a rather fine texture making it look clean-cut every day. Its slender form means any sized garden has room for its classy features!

Planting and Application:

This dense deciduous tree is known to be the star of the show and makes for quite the showstopper as a specimen tree!

Planted near your porch or patio, Frans Fontaine Hornbeam can give you and your friends a cool shaded area to drink iced tea and catch up on life.

If you're looking for a tree to make as a privacy screen, then you've hit the jackpot! Frans Fontaine Hornbeam is incredibly stunning when used for columnar hedging along your property line. Get the look and privacy without sacrificing space!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Although this tree is low-maintenance, it must be initially planted properly in full to partial sun with well-drained soil to allow it to grow to its mature size and unique columnar form of 35 feet or so tall and less than half that wide. Regular moisture while becoming established in its new home, after, just provide a drink before winter and during times of drought.

A gorgeous tree won't turn down a little spa day either. Little to no pruning is typically needed but can be done in summer as needed to avoid bleeding.

Let Frans Fontaine Columnar Hornbeam make a lasting difference in your landscaping by ordering this showstopper of a tree today! Reserve yours at NatureHills.com!
