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 have found your zone already, it will be highlighted in the table below.

If you have a dry site and want exceptional fall color...select our beautiful native Scarlet Oak (Quercus coccinea). This relatively fast-growing Oak will delight you and your family with its open canopy and restful shade.

Increase the value of your property with this thoughtful choice, as Scarlet Oak has one of the best displays among Oak trees. You'll be treated each year with a fiery display ranging from deep bronze to a stunning, scarlet red (depending on the soil conditions).

Summer leaves are six inches long, dark green, and feature c-shaped, deep sinuses. Each tip ends in bristle-tipped lobes because this tree is a close cousin to Pin Oak.

Mast production results in large acorns. This is a wonderful choice to count on in planned food forests and wildlife retreats. Hardy throughout USDA planting zones 4 to 9 and can grow 60 - 70 feet tall and 40 - 50 feet wide at maturity.

With ridged, gray-brown bark, you'll appreciate its sophisticated good looks year-round. Plant one at the southwest corner of your property and you'll reduce your annual cooling costs.

Landscape Application:

Impressive shade trees and wildlife 5-star hotels, these trees cast lush shade and create cool outdoor garden rooms, shaded dining rooms, and seating areas, and perfect for that backyard hammock.

Use several in an informal grouping to achieve a bold band of crimson color each autumn. This tree looks great up close and when seen from a distance. Partner this tree with evergreens and smaller flowering wildlife trees like Linden and Chickasaw Plum. Underplant with Mount Airy Fothergilla and Sweetspire.

Don't forget to wind a path through your nature planting. Add a comfortable seating area to the north of Scarlet Oak for a blissfully cool spot to entertain family and friends. You can also plant several along the street for an eye-catching display. Scarlet Oak features a rounded, full crown that lends a formal feeling to corporate campuses and large residential properties.

  • Leathery Leaves Feature Large Sinuses & Bristle Tips
  • Incredibly Vivid Fall Color
  • Grows Quickly While Young
  • Open Canopy & Durable, Strong Limbs
  • Dried Foliage Can Remain On Tree All Winter To Protect Next Year's Leaves
  • Large Acorns Support Wildlife
  • Excellent Shade Tree, Acorn Mast for Wildlife & Native Specimen

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Scarlet Oak Trees need full sun locations with plenty of elbow room. Any well-drained soil location with regular moisture access during their first year in the ground is important to get the deep roots established. Provide supplemental moisture during extended drought for young trees but once fully established, Oaks are highly resilient!

A 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch around the entire root system helps when the acorns drop, keeps soil moisture consistent, and supports the tree in many ways! Prune when dormant in the winter to maintain proper structure and growth when needed.

  • Need Full Sun
  • Well-Drained Soil
  • Moderate Moisture Needs
  • Tolerates Periodic Drought Once Established
  • Prune When Dormant
  • Low-Maintenance Deciduous Trees!
