Educate Yourself About the Sugarberry and Its Berry-eating birds
Sugarberry
Sugarberry (Celtis laevigata) is a great choice for your backyard landscaping and will provide nice shade during hot summer days. Its fruit ripens in late summer, but will remain on the tree through out the winter. This tree will do great in full sun and in dry to moist soil, but can also tolerate some clay.
The Sugarberry is resistant to Witches’ Broom as well. It will grow up to “between” 60-80ft (18-24m), and will have a spread of 40ft (12m). Another tree is the Dwarf hackberry (C. tenuifolia), it is a small tree or shrub, and will really do great in rich, moist soil, but will thrive in dry, rocky, gravelly soil as well.
