Description

The Hackberry (Celtis occidentalis) is a resilient, long-lived deciduous tree native to North America. Reaching heights of 50-75 feet, this low-maintenance shade tree features a broad, arching canopy with deep green, serrated leaves that provide cooling shade in summer. Its distinctive, corky bark and small, reddish-purple fruit make it a standout in the landscape year-round.

One of the most adaptable native trees, Hackberry thrives in a wide range of soils, including clay, loam, and dry, rocky conditions. It is highly drought-resistant, tolerates urban pollution, and withstands harsh weather, making it a top choice for city plantings, rural windbreaks, and reforestation projects. In fall, its foliage turns a soft yellow, while its nutrient-rich berries persist into winter, attracting birds, pollinators, and wildlife.

With rapid growth, excellent durability, and strong environmental benefits, Hackberry is an ideal tree for both natural and urban settings. Whether planted as a shade tree, windbreak, or wildlife habitat, it is a low-maintenance and valuable addition to any landscape.
