Celtis sinensis – Chinese hackberry

View prices and availability
Unremarkable large tree with a semi-open, umbel-shaped to round crown. As with many Celtis varieties, the first-year twigs can be strikingly long. They are brown to reddish brown, sometimes a little hairy. The older bark is smooth and grey. The leaves feel somewhat papery: the margin is toothed/serrated from the middle to the tip. The inconspicuous flower clusters are followed by red drupes. These can vary in colour from green to orange-red or black. Like many Celtis varieties, it is a warmth-loving plant that grows noticeably faster in a warm, dry environment than in a cold, wet climate. Prefers well-drained soil. Can tolerate drought and air pollution.
