The tree forms a rounded vase reaching a height of 40 to 80 feet, is a rapid grower, and transplants easily. Larval host for the Hackberry Emporer butterfly! The mature bark is light gray, rough and corky and the small fruit turns from orange red to purple and is relished by birds. If you use this tree, locate it where it will be protected from mechanical injury. Best for low-use areas such as along the edge of woods or in an open lawn, not for along streets. This tree establishes better and grows faster when purchased as a young sapling. Larger trees will struggle to establish far more than youngsters.
