Celtis Occidentalis |

The Celtis Occidentalis is commonly known
as the Hackberry. It is native to North America from southern Ontario
and Quebec, through parts of New England, south to North Carolina, west
to northern Oklahoma, and north to South Dakota.
The Hackberry is one of the most urban-tolerant
and rapidly growing shade trees. It is a tough and very large tree, growing
rapidly to provide shade, deciduous windbreak, and/or erosion control under
many different types of stressful conditions.
The Hackberry is a large tree with a slender
trunk, rising to the height of about 130 feet in the southern Mississippi
valley area, but in the middle states it attains the height of only 60
feet with a handsome round-topped head and pendulous branches. It prefers
rich moist soil, but will grow on gravelly or rocky hillsides. The roots
are fibrous and it grows rapidly.
The leaves alternate, ovate to ovate-lanceolate,
more or less falcate, two and a half to four inches long, one to two inches
wide, very oblique at the base, serrate, except at the base which is mostly
entire, acute. Three-nerved, midrib and primary veins prominent. They come
out of the bud conduplicate with slightly involute margins, pale yellow
green, downy; when full grown are thin, bright green, rough above, paler
green beneath. In autumn they turn to a light yellow. Petioles slender,
slightly grooved, hairy. Stipules varying in form, caducous.
The small berries, hackberries, are eaten
by a number of birds and mammals. Most seeds are dispersed by animals,
but some seeds are also dispersed by water. The berries, although
edible, are small and out of reach, and are seldom eaten by humans.
