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.

Tasty, handsome and healthy, the Monroe Avocado Tree (Persea americana 'Monroe') was found growing in Florida and has shown considerable cold hardiness compared to other varieties. Producing glossy, dark green to near black-skinned fruit late season, Monroe will be an ideal type B pollinator for your Avocado tree grove!

Sprays of light green flowers appear in umbels full of dainty star-shaped blossoms in the spring. Appearing on the ends of the branches, these give way to the iconic fruit. Your tree may be smothered in blossoms but only a few of these will be pollinated by bees and other beneficial pollinators.

Avocado fruit ripens on the tree late-season, often throughout the winter months. With the classic look of a dark-green, rough-skinned fruit and creamy green interior and tan seed, you’ll enjoy many healthy breakfast toasts, smoothies and savory dishes with these flavorful fruits!

Planting and Application:

If you don’t grow Avocado trees for their fruit, you’ll enjoy a fantastic glossy evergreen tree that is a great hedgerow, shelterbelt and windbreak tree, not to mention a beautiful specimen and ornamental accent! Keep pruned smaller as a porch or patio container plant, or bring indoors for a large houseplant if you have a sunny window.

Monroe can have a bumper crop of fruit each year given they have enough pollinators around, so be sure to plant your orchard or hedgerow with another species, or more, for the largest and longest-lasting crop!

  • Dense, Lush Evergreen Foliage
  • Dark Green Fruit & Creamy Light Green Flesh
  • Healthy & Flavorful!
  • Great Hedge & Ornamental Tree
  • Greenish Flowers - Type ‘B’ Avocado

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Avocado Tree care is pretty easy and similar to Citrus trees! They prefer their soil on the drier side and aren’t particular on the type. Any fertile, well-drained soil will due! Plant in full sun for the most blooms, with a pollinator partner type A for the most fruit. Prune to keep container-sized, or to control the shape and size, after fruiting.

  • Full Sun & Improved Cold Hardiness
  • Fertile Well-Drained Soil
  • Moderate Moisture, Likes to Dry Out Between Waterings
  • Prune After Fruiting - Control Size & Keep Small
  • Great Indoors & Containers

Monroe Avocados are lush broadleaf evergreen trees that are perfectly suited for home gardens both big and small! Indoors or out, you’ll love these healthy and flavorful fruits. Buy yours now at NatureHills.com!
