Netleaf Hackberry

Netleaf Hackberry (Celtis reticulata) is a rugged, wildlife-friendly tree that thrives where many others won’t. Its distinctive rough-textured leaves and corky bark give it character year-round, while its small, sweet drupes provide food for birds, pollinators, and other wildlife. Perfect for low-water landscapes, this tree is a workhorse for erosion control, shade, and habitat in dry climates.

Its ability to handle heat, poor soils, and drought makes it a favorite for restoration projects, xeriscapes, and urban planting where water is scarce. This tree brings shade and structure to the landscape without demanding much water, making it a water-wise choice for anyone seeking a resilient and ecologically valuable tree.
