Celtis occidentalis
The Common Hackberry (Celtis occidentalis) is a medium to large deciduous tree native to North America, commonly found in a variety of habitats, including woodlands, floodplains, and urban environments. It typically grows 60-80′ feet tall with an irregular, spreading crown. The tree is recognized for its distinctive, warty bark and its simple, serrated leaves that turn yellow in the fall. In late spring, the Common Hackberry produces small, greenish flowers, followed by round, purple to orange fruits that attract birds. Tolerant of a wide range of soil types and environmental conditions, it is often planted for its shade, wildlife benefits, and resistance to pests and diseases.
