About Celtis Laevigata Trees: Celtis Laevigata is basically a southern version of common or northern hackberry (see C. occidentalis). Celtis Laevigata differs from common hackberry: fruits are juicier and sweeter, bark is less corky, leaves are narrower with mostly smooth margins, better resistance to witches’ broom and less winter hardiness. Celtis Laevigata is a medium to large sized deciduous tree that typically grows 60-80’ tall with upright-arching branching and a rounded spreading crown. Trunk diameter ranges from 1-3.' This tree is native to and widely distributed throughout the southeast and south central U. S. It typically occurs in moist to wet soils along streams and floodplains.
