Celtis occidentalis, commonly called hackberry, is a large native tree commonly found on riverside and floodplain areas. Hackberry grows to 50-70' tall and the bark of young trees stands out in the environment, with clumpy warts that mature to cork-like ridges as trees age. With wide adaptability to soil conditions and tolerance to heat, drought, and salt, Celtis occidentalis is a great choice for lawn plantings and for naturalization in woodland gardens

In the spring months, insignificant flowers are produced along hackberry's branches, which turn to purplish berry-like fruits in the warmer summer months, and persist through the early fall. Hackberries are a favorite of birds and small mammals, and this wildlife interest helps to disperse hackberry seeds.

Marylanders Plant Trees

From the Maryland Department of Natural Resources:

"We launched Marylanders Plant Trees in 2009 to encourage citizens and organizations to partner with the State to plant new trees. Today, citizens can still take advantage of our coupon program to receive $25 off the purchase of a native tree at 86 participating nurseries across the State. The State cost of $20 per coupon is funded through a settlement from a major power generator for Clean Air Act violations, in partnership with the Office of the Attorney General, and Maryland’s participating tree vendors are generously absorbing the remaining $5.

Trees must be planted in the state of Maryland to qualify for $25 off coupon.
Wholesale customers do not qualify.
