Common Hackberry

Common Hackberry (Celtis occidentalis) is a versatile and adaptable deciduous tree that offers several benefits for landscaping. Its broad, spreading crown and rough, corky bark provide a unique appearance. It has pointed green leaves that turn yellow in autumn when small berries ripen and are enjoyed by birds. Common Hackberry is an important tree for wildlife. The flowers provide spring pollen for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.

Common Hackberries are ideal for providing shade, attracting wildlife, and preventing erosion. They are known for their hardiness, disease and pest resistance, fast growth, and low maintenance requirements. These qualities make them a popular choice for both residential and commercial settings, offering a combination of beauty, functionality, and adaptability.
