The Hackberry has been called admiringly, "one tough tree!" Hackberries thrive in a wide range of temperatures and in areas that vary from 14 to 60 inches of annual rainfall. The Hackberry can stand up to strong winds, tolerate air pollution, and bring shade to hot city streets. Tolerant of a wide range of conditions, the Hackberry is a good landscape choice. Grows to a broad crown with arching branches. Well-suited to urban or rural areas. |
