Tough, Year-Round Good Looks
Experts often call the Hackberry Tree “one tough tree.” That's because it can thrive in nearly every type of soil, heat and cold, and even drought. Able to flourish with minimal care, hackberries give shade and privacy to your yard.
It's attractive and low-maintenance. Even with only minimal pruning, the tree maintains its rounded shape of dense, dark green leaves. In the fall, Hackberry leaves turn yellow or yellow-green, accompanied by small, orange-red to deep-purple fruits.
Looking for a tree that will mature quickly with little intervention? The Hackberry is a great choice. This tree can shoot up anywhere between 13 and 24 inches each year, no matter what type of soil you have in your yard. It can even withstand periods of both flooding and drought.
In addition to providing shade and privacy, the Hackberry is a haven for wildlife, including robins, cedar waxwings, and mockingbirds. Butterflies, including the mourning cloak and tawny emperor, also flock to the tree. These features make the Hackberry a smart alternative to the Elm - it's similar in appearance but less prone to disease.

So far so good. Only
So far so good. Only had it a week. Not your fault but what ever company delivered to wrong house and they leaned up against house in the sun.
Doug's Hackberry
It seems it suffered due to shipping, though the tree looked good on arrival the root ball was really loose, as if it had a long rough ride. Lots of yellowing leaves now, we will wait and see if it pulls thru.

Hackberry Tree
So far, so good. The tree arrived late and the leaves were brown on the ends but I planted it and appears to be ok. Will know more in the spring. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable!
