Hackberry (Celtis occidentalis) is a tough, deciduous tree known for its tolerance of poor soils, drought, and urban conditions, making it a durable choice for challenging environments. This medium to large-sized tree thrives in well-drained soils and requires minimal care once established. Hackberry is appreciated for its distinctive bark, which develops corky ridges as the tree matures, and its small, sweet berries that attract birds and other wildlife. The tree’s leaves turn a light yellow in the fall, adding seasonal interest to landscapes. Hackberry is often used in urban plantings, parks, and naturalized areas due to its resilience and ability to withstand harsh conditions. Additionally, these trees support local wildlife and contribute to the biodiversity of the landscape, enhancing its ecological health.

I’ve never ordered trees online before and I have never heard of Food Forest Nursery, but they had hackberry trees and that’s what I thought would grow best on my remote Nevada ranch with ($)*$)%*# soil. Right now they are in buckets full of native soil as I didn’t have water ran to where they are going, but they are doing great. They are from two to almost five feet tall. I’m putting in an order for another ten right now.
