Desert hackberry

Sand hackberry (granjeno in south Texas) is a thorny native evergreen shrub of the lower Rio Grande Valley and south Texas brush country, producing small, yellowish-orange to red fruits abundantly year-round that are among the most important food sources for resident and migratory birds in the region — it is one of the top-ranked native plants for bird feeding in the Rio Grande Valley by wildlife managers and birders. The dense, thorny thickets provide impenetrable nesting and escape cover for green jays, Altamira orioles, and dozens of other brushland birds; the plant is a cornerstone of the native south Texas chaparral community. Hackberry emperor butterflies use this species as a larval host, and white-tipped doves, plain chachalacas, and chestnut-fronted macaws consume the fruits. In south Texas wildlife habitat gardens and Rio Grande Valley native plantings, granjeno is one of the highest-priority native shrubs for creating dense, self-sustaining wildlife habitat that provides food, cover, and nesting resources year-round without supplemental irrigation. Спосіб посадки: Висадка розсади Відстань між рослинами: 72–144 дюймів Висота: 72–180 дюймів Дні до схожості: 21–60 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 18–24°C
