Plant shipped will be about 12 inches tall+. If shipped in late winter/early spring is may be dormant and have no leaves. It may also be shipped bare root. It can be planted in a pot to start or outside any time the ground is not frozen. The hackberry tree, scientifically known as Celtis occidentalis, is a versatile and resilient tree with a range of features and benefits that make it valuable in landscaping and natural settings. One of its notable attributes is its adaptability to a wide range of growing conditions. The hackberry tree can thrive in various soil types, including clay, loam, and sandy soils, as long as the soil is well-drained. It is also tolerant of drought and pollution, making it suitable for urban landscapes and challenging environments. In addition to its adaptability, the hackberry tree offers ornamental value with its attractive foliage and bark. The leaves are oval-shaped with serrated edges and turn a vibrant yellow in the fall, adding seasonal interest to landscapes. The bark of mature hackberry trees develops an interesting warty texture, providing visual texture and character, especially during the winter months when the foliage has dropped. Hackberry trees do produce edible fruit for humans and wildlife! They are small, round fruits called drupes, which are similar to cherries or olives. Hackberry drupes are typically reddish-purple to deep purple when ripe, and about the size of a pea. The fruit of the hackberry tree is edible by humans, although the flesh is quite thin and surrounds a large seed. Because of this, some people find them to be more like a nut than a berry. In fact, both the sweet flesh and the crunchy seed are edible, and some adventurous foragers even claim the combination of textures and flavors is reminiscent of a peanut M&M, making them a fun and natural snack. Another benefit of the hackberry tree is its low maintenance requirements. Once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant and resistant to pests and diseases, reducing the need for frequent watering and chemical interventions. Additionally, the hackberry tree responds well to pruning and can be shaped into a hedge or screen to provide privacy and wind protection. Furthermore, the hackberry tree has a moderate growth rate, reaching a mature height of 20-40 feet depending on growing conditions. Its compact size and adaptability make it suitable for small gardens, urban landscapes, and naturalized areas where it can thrive with minimal care.
