Add item to quote to see pricing

Celtis occidentalis is more than just a tree; it's a charismatic statement of strength and beauty. Commonly known as Hackberry, this North American native soars to impressive heights of 40-60 feet and extends its inviting canopy up to a breath-taking 60 feet. Its vibrant green, elliptically serrated foliage provides a cooling refuge in the summer months and delightfully transitions to an alluring yellow every autumn, ensuring a visual feast all year round. Petite, greenish blossoms and adorable, wildlife-friendly purple berries add to Hackberry's enchanting appeal. But the Hackberry isn't just a pretty face; it is a testament to resilience. Unfazed by varying soil types and conditions, it thrives with full sun to partial shade exposure and has earned a reputation as a versatile powerhouse in landscaping design. Plus, with its textured grey bark, the Hackberry continues to command attention, even in the off-season. If you're pursuing a landscape that captivates, provides a haven for wildlife, and flourishes regardless of the challenges, look no further; Hackberry — the tree that just keeps giving — is the choice for you.
