GROWER’S NOTE:
The Common Hackberry is a challenge for any grower. Challenge accepted here at the nursery! We love to watch it take shape in our fields. Each Hackberry needs a little special attention, but with proper prune timing and our great soils, this Midwest native takes its place near the top of our “favorite” tree list.
