Celtis occidentalis
Celtis occidentalis is a large, hardy ornamental tree, commonly known as the hackberry, valued for its very dense, medium-green foliage that provides generous shade in beds, avenues, or large gardens. In autumn, its foliage takes on subtle yellow to golden hues, enriching seasonal landscapes. Its rounded and open silhouette gives it an elegant and structured presence, ideal as a shade tree, isolated specimen, or for avenues. Very hardy and tolerant of a wide variety of soils—even dry or urban—this tree thrives in full sun and adapts well to demanding landscape conditions.
