We often feature trees known for their foliage or flowers, but this one has a distinctive bark! Growing 60-80 feet tall, hackberry is a large tree with an interesting, warty bark. The fruits mature in the fall and are enjoyed by birds. Hackberry prefers moist, well-drained soils but is highly adaptable.
