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.

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 love Key Limes, you know that it can take quite a few of the little guys to get enough juice to really use. Easily twice the size of the diminutive Key Lime but with the same great sweet-tart flavor that you love in a pie or limeade, the Giant Key Lime (Citrus aurantifolia Swingle 'Giant Key') is a boon for the kitchen!

Nature Hills is excited to be able to offer the trees to home gardeners! This true garden novelty not only produces delicious double-sized fruit for you, but it is also a striking landscape specimen with arching limbs and broadleaf evergreen leaves. Try it in a container indoors if you don't live in a citrus-friendly climate, or outdoors as a beautiful accent.

Once you've tasted your own homemade Key Lime pie, you will never ever buy a store-bought one again! Enjoy a bounty of large fruit from this handsome tree that fills itself in fragrant white blossoms and pollinators, before drooping with a weighty harvest in the summer!

Planting and Application:

These evergreens are highly ornamental landscaping accents and specimens. Not too big, not too small, they're perfect for nearly any sized yard and can be pruned smaller yet to accommodate northern climates, container and balcony gardeners! Use anywhere you have some sun and want to get rave reviews when everyone sees these huge fruit-laden trees!

Keep all the branches intact for a hedgerow or privacy screen that adds sweet-tartness to your favorite recipes! Great shade over seating areas and entertainment spots where you can enjoy the divine fragrance and kick back while enjoying drinks made from these juicy Key Limes!

  • Delicious Sweet-Tart Fruit
  • Large Green Limes & Weeping Branches
  • Perfect for Small Gardens & Container Gardens
  • Self-Pollinating
  • Not Available in Stores

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Citrus trees need full sun to do their best. Provide a very well-drained site that dries out a bit between waterings. Containers and planters need excellent drainage. Regular fertility and soil on the slightly acidic side will keep your tree healthy.

Although Citrus can grow year-round in warmer regions (zones 9 and 10), they can also thrive in colder areas (zones 4 to 7) as long as the tree is brought indoors before the first frost of winter.

In zone 8, you can cover your tree in the event of a cold snap or unexpected overnight freeze. Citrus will need to be planted in a sheltered spot to avoid the worst of the chill, and not planted in a low area that collects cold air. If a spot like that is unavailable, or you are in a chill-prone climate, then you are safer planting Citrus Trees in a large, deep container with wheels to easily move them to a protected location or indoors when needed.

In cold growing zones, begin slowly acclimating your tree indoors in the fall, or into a protected location, eventually moving your tree inside. Indoor plants need a bright indirect sun window, greenhouse, sunroom, or enclosed patio for the winter. In spring, reverse this process and begin acclimating your tree to again be back out in the full sun all summer. This reduces stress and leaf drop.

  • Full Sun
  • Well-Drained Slightly Acidic Soil
