Plant in well-drained to moist soil in full sun to partial shade; hackberry is among the most adaptable native trees, thriving in urban heat, clay soils, drought, flooding, and alkaline conditions that defeat many other species. The small dark-purple berries that ripen in September–October have a sweet, date-like flavor and are edible directly from the tree; the thin skin is nutritious and the sweet pulp surrounds a hard seed. The berries are a critical fall food source for over 50 bird species, including cedar waxwings, robins, bluebirds, and many migrating warblers. The distinctive corky bark warty growths are a natural feature, not a disease. Excellent choice for difficult urban sites or as a wildlife anchor tree. Спосіб посадки: Висадка розсади Відстань між рослинами: 240–360 дюймів Висота: 180–600 дюймів Дні до схожості: 60–90 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 4–13°C
