The Hackberry Tree (Celtis occidentalis) is a deciduous fruiting tree that is often forgotten by casual consumers, and is commonly heralded by tree experts as “one tough tree”. Found on a wide range of soils east of the Rockies from southern Canada to Florida, these trees thrive in a broad span of temperatures and on sites that vary from 14 to 60" of annual rainfall. They can even stand up to strong winds and tolerate air pollution. All of this hardiness adds up to a good landscape choice, particularly if you’re looking for an energy-conserving shade tree that doesn’t require watering. The fruit of the hackberry is popular with winter birds, especially the cedar waxwing, mockingbird and robin. The tree also attracts many butterfly species including American snout, hackberry, mourning cloak, and tawny emperor. This tree grows at a medium to fast rate, with height increases of anywhere from 13" to more than 24" per year, wow!
