Native to central and eastern North America, this is a beautiful tree with elm-like leaves, showy corky, ridged bark and sweet, edible fruit.
The berry-like dark-purple fruit are plentiful and nutritious; they are high in fats, protein and vitamins. Hackberries have a thin sweet, fig-like flesh, while the seed is nutty and crunchy.
Hackberry trees provide food and habitat for a large number of animal species.
Very easy to grow as it has a wide soil adaptability, is resistant to disease and tolerant to heat, drought, salt spray, wind, ice, and short-term flooding.
USDA Zone 3-9
