Hackberry, Common (Celtis occidentalis)

The moderate-growing hackberry is a great choice for windbreaks and pairs well with Red Osier Dogwood and Black Hills Spruce. It tolerates a variety of soils, temperatures and even poor air quality,  earning its reputation as one tough tree. Its leaves turn yellow in the fall and its dark purple fruit (drupe) provide food for birds and mammals.
