The tree forms a rounded vase reaching a height. of 40 to 80 feet, is a rapid grower, and transplants. easily (Fig. 1). The mature bark is light gray, rough. and corky and the small fruit turns from orange red to. purple and is relished by birds. The fruit temporarily. stains walks. Leaves are wider than Celtis laevigata. and more serrated. Hackberry may recover from. transplanting from a field nursery slowly due to the. extensive, coarsely branched root system, but this can. be overcome by planting from containers.
