Hackberry
Hackberry trees are tough and resistant. Over time, their arching branches grow into a broad crown shape. Hackberries are some of the most durable trees as they are tolerant against strong winds, pollution, drought, flooding, heat, and salt. They also grow well in a wide variety of types of soil. Along with their ability to withstand multiple conditions, Hackberries attract a variety of butterfly species and their fruit is popular with mockingbirds and robins.
