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.

Imagine a tropical getaway, clear blue water, palm trees and a fruity drink in your hand on the beach! Most likely that fruity drink has a slice of lime or a splash of refreshing Lime juice in it! While we don't sell vacations and paradise, we can help you achieve that feeling at home with plenty of the Thornless Mexican Lime Trees (Citrus aurantifolia 'Mexican Thornless') for sale!

Thriving in Citrus-growing areas of the US as well as in containers in a sunny window everywhere else, this little Lime is the standard for bar Limes. But its deliciousness isn't limited to drinks - try it in cooking, too!

Great for zest, limeades and as a twist on traditional iced tea, you will find a hundred uses for this great fruit once you grow it for yourself. And as the name says, there are no nasty thorns to sting you when you're picking the fruit!

Planting and Application:

The lovely, fragrant white blossoms and glossy green evergreen foliage, Citrus trees are very ornamental landscape additions! The beauty of a smaller tree like the Mexican Lime is its space-saving versatility!

Tucking readily into small spaces and even porches, balconies and patios as container plants, dwarf and semi-dwarf trees allow anyone with a sunny area to grow their own fresh Limes! Create your own staycation by lining your patio or poolside with potted Lime trees!

  • Juicy round green fruit
  • Classic Lime flavor
  • Smaller, compact-sized tree
  • Ripens July-December in most zones
  • No thorns!
  • Great Specimen & Container tree - indoors & out

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Citrus trees do their best fruiting and flowering in the full sun, so provide at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day for your tree or risk your harvest's size. Citrus also prefers to dry out a bit between waterings, so plant in enriched, slightly acidic, organic soil that's well-drained.

Protecting Container Citrus From Cold

If you're growing these tropical trees in the ground in the lowest of their favored growing zones, they need to be planted in a sheltered spot to avoid the worst of the chill. If a spot like that is unavailable, then you are better off planting in a large, deep container.

In borderline growing zones, begin slowly acclimating your tree indoors or into a protected location, eventually moving your tree inside in bright indirect sun for the winter if the temperatures in your area ever dip below that 40°F range. 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.

Unfortunately, an exotic vacation might not be in your future...but a delicious Thornless Mexican Lime Tree can be! Order yours from NatureHills.com today and get ready to be transported someplace tropical!
