Hackberry
Celtis occidentalis
9 to 15 metres (30 to 50 ft)
100+ years
Appearance: The Hackberry features leaves shaped like spearheads, approximately 2–4" and 1½–2" wide, arranged alternately along the twigs. Small teeth edge at least the upper half of the leaf. The Hackberry has a growth pattern that resembles the elm--without the susceptibility to disease.
Site and soils: The hackberry grows well in acidic, alkaline, loamy, moist, rich, sandy, well-drained, wet and clay soils. It has some tolerance for both flooding and drought.
Rural plantings: Most often used as firewood though it is occasionally used for inexpensive furniture construction.
Urban settings: Often used as a shade tree in urban environments due to its drought tolerance and size.
Native to: North America
